Paige is a product of both the 1980s and the US, but she's also her mother's daughter. Elizabeth certainly sees herself as part of something extraordinary, and she's not American.
There's an American context to everything Paige does, because she lives there. But, for example, when she wanted to be politically active, she chose to go and protest against American nuclear weapons. Not, for example, for the rights of Soviet dissidents.
It's not that she's not American, or wants to be anything other than what she is, but I don't see what makes her particularly American.
