Description
?Ontevredenheid raast als een tornado over Amerika. Dit is het tijdperk van haat en nijd en de opkomst van Donald Trump. Waarom is de droom op drift?Björn Soenens schrijft in Amerika. De droom op drift met onstuitbare passie over het land dat hem mateloos fascineert: van Pocahontas tot Lehman Brothers, van Reagan tot Trump, van Nina Simone tot Bruce Springsteen. Hij schetst een verbluffend tableau over Amerika vroeger en nu. Lees over een land van verdampte dromen en bedriegers. Over de opkomst van de latino's en de paranoia in de Amerikaanse politiek. Over Airbnb en Uber, over winners en losers. Een onmisbaar boek voor al wie snakt naar kennis en inzicht over de Verenigde Staten. 'Je moet dit boek lezen, stukje bij beetje, of in één ruk door.'Karel De Gucht, voormalig Europees Commissaris en Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken'De man met de mooiste stem van De Lage Landen heeft ook een meeslepende pen.'Wessel De Jong, voormalig Amerikacorrespondent NOS
