| Zusammenfassung: | "[A] book critic of The Washington Post digs into the books of the Trump era and ... [asserts] that our response to this presidency often reflects the same polarization, contradictions, and resentments that made it possible"-- As a book critic for The Washington Post, Lozada has read some 150 volumes claiming to diagnose why Trump was elected and what his presidency reveals about our nation. Now he uses these books to tell the story of how we understand ourselves in the Trump era, using as his main characters the political ideas and debates at play in America today. Lozada's argument is provocative: that many of these books, whoever the author, are vulnerable to the same blind spots, resentments, and failures that gave us his presidency. Lozada also highlights the books that succeed in illuminating how America is changing in the 21st century. -- adapted from Amazon info and book jacket |

The Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic of The Washington Post digs into the books of the Trump era and finds that our response to this presidency often reflects the same polarization, contradictions, and resentments that made it possible. It is an irony of our age that a man who rarely reads has unleashed an onslaught of books about his tenure and his time. Dissections of the white working class. Manifestos of political resistance. Works on identity, gender, and migration. Memoirs on race and protest. Revelations of White House mayhem. Warnings over the future of conservatism, progressivism, and of American democracy itself. As a book critic for The Washington Post, Carlos Lozada has read just about all of them. In What Were We Thinking, he draws on some 150 recent volumes to explore how we understand ourselves in the Trump era. Lozada’s characters are not the president, his advisers, or his antagonists but the political and cultural ideas at play—and at stake—in America. Just as Trump’s election upended the country’s political establishment, it shocked its intellectual class. Though some of the books of the Trump era skillfully illuminate the challenges and transformations the nation faces, too many works are more defensive than incisive, more righteous than right. Lozada offers a provocative argument: Whether written by liberals or conservatives, activists or academics, true believers or harsh critics, the books of Trump’s America are vulnerable to the same failures of imagination that gave us this presidency in the first place. In What Were We Thinking, Lozada’s
selections range from bestselling titles to little-known works, from thoroughly reported accounts of the administration to
partisan polemics, from meditations on the fate of truth to memoirs about enduring—or enabling—the Trump presidency. He also identifies books that challenge entrenched assumptions and shift our vantage points, the books that best help us make sense of this era. The result is a real-time intellectual history of our time, a work that transcends daily headlines to discern how we got here and how we thought here. What Were We Thinking will help today’s readers understand America, and will help tomorrow’s readers look back and understand us. CARLOS LOZADA is the nonfiction book critic of The Washington Post. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2019 and has received the National Book Critics Circle’s Nona Balaktan Citation for ExceUence in Reviewing. During his fifteen years with the Post he has also served as Outlook editor and overseen news coverage of economics and national security. An immigrant from Lima, Peru, Lozada is the former managing editor of Foreign Policy magazine and an adjunct professor of political jour nalism at the University of Notre Dame.

[asserts] that our response to this presidency often reflects the same polarization, contradictions, and resentments that made it possible"-- As a book critic for The Washington Post, Lozada has read some 150 volumes claiming to diagnose why Trump was elected and what his presidency reveals about our nation. Now he uses these books to tell the story of how we understand ourselves in the Trump era, using as his main characters the political ideas and debates at play in America today. Lozada's argument is provocative: that many of these books, whoever the author, are vulnerable to the same blind spots, resentments, and failures that gave us his presidency. Lozada also highlights the books that succeed in illuminating how America is changing in the 21st century. -- adapted from Amazon info and book jacket Trump, Donald 1946- (DE-588)118834312 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 2016-2020 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Intellektueller (DE-588)4027249-7 gnd rswk-swf Geistesleben (DE-588)4274490-8 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Trump, Donald / 1946- / Influence Trump, Donald / 1946- / Bibliography Books and reading / United States / History / 21st century United States / Politics and government / 2017- HISTORY / United States / General Presidents / United States / Election / 2016 Political culture / United States / History / 21st century United States / Intellectual life / 21st century Trump, Donald / 1946- Intellectual life Political culture United States History Trump, Donald 1946- (DE-588)118834312 p USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Geistesleben (DE-588)4274490-8 s Intellektueller (DE-588)4027249-7 s Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Geschichte 2016-2020 z DE-604 Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032433709&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032433709&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
