Bookoccino will host an evening to discuss and dissect what the US Election means. Why is America so polarized? What explains Trump’s popularity? Is the country ready for a woman president? The electoral college? And what does it all mean for Australia?
The panel:
- Nick Bryant, author of The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict With Itself
- Michael Green, head of the United States Studies Centre at Sydney University who once worked in the White House
- Don Watson, author of forthcoming Quarterly Essay 'that catches the madness and the politics of an election like no other’
- Julia Baird, journalist, author of Bright Shining, former anchor of 'The Drum'
The moderator:
- Raymond Bonner, former New York Times correspondent and co-owner of Bookoccino
