Скачать или смотреть A Post-Inauguration Reassessment of US Democracy: a talk by Jamelle Bouie

The 2024 election results call into question the robustness and longevity of US democracy and the rule of law. On the one hand, the present moment echoes US history, namely the Reconstruction counterrevolution. On the other hand, the Trumpification of the GOP is incomparable in US history. To help assess the perils and possibilities of the moment is the nation’s leading columnist who has consistently provided clear eyed, trenchant, and historically informed insights into US politics.

Jamelle Bouie is a columnist for the New York Times. He covers US history, politics, and constitutional history. Before the Times, Jamelle was chief political correspondent for Slate magazine. He has also contributed essays to volumes such as "Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019" and "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story." In 2021, he received the Hillman Prize for Opinion & Analysis Journalism and in 2024 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
