Rieke Havertz: Goodbye, Amerika? Die USA und wir – eine ­Neuvermessung

In the organizer's words:

A second Trump, tech billionaires in the American and German election campaigns, the transatlantic alliance in crisis: the view of the USA is increasingly perplexing, and reporting in this country is characterized by anti-Americanism, sensationalism and the mantra of a divided country. But there is another way. And, above all, more productively. After all, the USA is still the most powerful country in the world, and a genuine understanding is essential as the basis for a sustainable relationship. Rieke Havertz, an expert and correspondent on the USA for many years, invites us into her America. She traces surprising facts, takes us to the country's key locations and makes it clear: if you want to understand US politics, you have to understand the people.

Rieke Havertz is a correspondent at ZEIT and has been co-host of the podcast OK, America? Havertz studied journalism and American studies in Leipzig and Ohio. After working for taz, she joined ZEIT ONLINE in 2016.
