CEU lädt zur Buchpräsentation: Holding Together: The Hijacking of Rights in America and How to Reclaim Them for Everyone von J.Shattuck

Autor John Shattuck im Gespräch mit Rektorin Shalin Randeria am 2. Juni 2022 um 14:00 an der Central Europen University in Wien und im Live Stream

Wien (OTS) – „Holding Together“ is about the promise of rights as a source of identity, the struggle to realize rights by countless Americans to whom the promise has been denied or not fulfilled, the hijacking of rights by politicians who seek power by dividing and polarizing, and the way forward in which rights can bring citizens together instead of tearing them apart. Co-authored with Sushma Raman and Mathias Risse, Holding Together is a road map for an American rights revival, with insights vital for every democracy.

Thursday, June 2, 2 p.m.–3 p.m. CET at CEU Vienna campus, Quellenstrasse 51, 1100
