From the celebrated magazine of writing from around the world, twelve sharp global perspectives on a changing United States, edited by a winner of the European Press PrizeThe 2024 U.S. presidential election reverberated internationally, a global event whose outcome has already reshaped trade, migration, security, and rising authoritarianism across the world. Inside the United States, we are swamped by a news cycle; but how does the wider world see and interpret what is happening under Trump?
In How They See Us, twelve of some of the most talented and insightful journalists from around the world probe their home countries' complex relationship with the United States--and especially, how this has swerved under the new administration. A diverse, international cast of writers examines:
- how Turkey's recent history helps us understand America's slide into autocracy
- how Argentina's century-long obsession with the dollar has changed under Trump
- the new wave of anti-American tourism activism in Italy
- what Elon Musk gets wrong about South Africa
- how Taiwan is navigating the uncertainty of Trump's response in the event of a Chinese invasion
- the newly fraught view of the U.S. among Canadians
Featuring all new pieces commissioned by The Dial, the celebrated magazine of culture, politics, and ideas from around the world, How They See Us both shifts and expands our frame of reference, our self-awareness, and our understanding of how much our world has changed since the fateful election of 2024.
