American Academy in Berlin at internationales literaturfestival berlin
The US under Trump 2.0
Donald Trump is back—and with him, renewed concern about the future of American democracy. What does his second term mean for the United States’ self-image and its role in the world? Author Jamaica Kincaid, historian William Hitchcock, and Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Elizabeth Kolbert discuss social divisions, political power struggles, and the ecological consequences of a nation in flux. An evening of critical reflection and forward-looking debate.
A conversation with Jamaica Kincaid, Novelist; Professor Emerita of African and African American Studies, Harvard University, William Hitchcock, James Madison Professor of History, University of Virginia, and Elizabeth Kolbert, Staff Writer, The New Yorker
Moderated by Beatrice Faßbender, Editor and Literary Translator
