About
From the celebrated magazine of international writing, twelve sharp global perspectives on a changing United States, with an introduction by the Dial's editor in chief, Madeleine Schwartz
The 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 the news cycle; but how does the wider world
see and interpret what is happening under Trump?
In How We See It, twelve of the most talented and insightful journalists
from around the world probe their home countries' complex relationship
with the United States-and 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, anti-American tourism sentiment in Italy, and what right-wing
Americans get wrong about South Africa. Essays in the collection also
look at how Taiwan is navigating the uncertainty of Trump's response in
the event of a Chinese invasion and the newly fraught view of the U.S.
from Canada.
Featuring pieces commissioned by The Dial, the award-winning
magazine, How We See It shifts and expands our frame of reference,
our self-awareness, and our understanding of how much our world has
changed since the election of 2024.
