This response pertains to the review of our book, God Guns Gold and Glory—American Character and its Discontents, reviewed in this journal by George Gonzalez. Our response contends that the “review” is not really a critical reflection on our book, but something more like a dismissal. In essence, Gonzalez says that this is not the book he would have written; he wants to present his own thoughts, not critique ours.

对乔治·冈萨雷斯的回应

此回复与乔治·冈萨雷斯 (George Gonzalez) 在本期刊中对我们的书《上帝枪杀黄金与荣耀——美国性格及其不满》(God Guns Gold and Glory-American Character and its Discontents) 的评论有关。我们的回应认为，“评论”并不是对我们书的真正批判性反思，而更像是一种解雇。本质上，冈萨雷斯说这不是他会写的书。他想表达自己的想法，而不是批评我们的想法。
