From the celebrated magazine of international writing, twelve sharp global perspectives on a changing United States, with an introduction by the Dial'seditor 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.
