The Struggle for America Book Launch and Debate on US Elections and More

The Argo publishing house is bringing out the book Zápas o Ameriku (The Struggle for America) by Jan Kaliba, Czech Radio’s former Washington correspondent, just as the U.S. prepares for a major electoral battle. Six weeks before election day, we will introduce this book, based on authentic voices from the field, in a debate on the underbelly of Trumpism. However, we will also talk about more timeless topics that the book focuses on. Do Native Americans feel American? What do Black Americans mean when they talk about systemic racism? And what is life like on the southern U.S.-Mexico border and just across it? Guests: the book’s author Jan Kaliba, former Czech Television U.S. correspondent David Miřejovský and Daniela Vrbová, a Czech Radio journalist with experience of America. Czech Radio Plus editor-in-chief Josef Pazderka will moderate.
