Political Roundtable with The New York Review of Books

As the 2020 election swings into view, contributors to The New York Review of Books examine and debate our moment of political division and crisis.

Featuring

  • Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist, The New York Times
  • Pamela Karlan, co-director, Stanford University Supreme Court Litigation Clinic
  • Mark Lilla, Professor of Humanities, Columbia University
  • Timothy Snyder, Richard C. Levin Professor of History, Yale University
  • Brenda Wineapple, writer, literary critic, and essayist

The 2020 general election takes place in a moment of anxiety arguably unlike any since the years immediately preceding the Civil War. A cluster of crises—epidemiological, financial, racial, and electoral—has shown us a nation whose politics seem polarized beyond repair.

Commentators and contributors to The New York Review of Books examine the nature of these grave challenges to our political structures and speculate about how they might be met.

LIVE from NYPL is made possible by the support of Library patrons and friends, as well as by the continuing generosity of Celeste Bartos, Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos and Adam Bartos, and the Margaret and Herman Sokol Public Education Endowment Fund.
