Harper's Magazine and Book Culture present D.D. Guttenplan

October02 at Book Culture in New York, NY

Join us as Harper's Magazine and Book Culture on Columbus present D.D. Guttenplan on his new book The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority on Tuesday, October 2nd at 7pm! D.D. Guttenplan will be joined in conversation by Harper's president Rick Macarthur!

Who are the new progressive leaders emerging to lead the post-Trump return to democracy in America? National political correspondent and award-winning author D.D. Guttenplan's The Next Republic is an extraordinarily intense and wide-ranging account of the recent fall and incipient rise of democracy in America.

The Next Republic profiles nine successful activists who are changing the course of American history right now. Additionally, the introduction to The Next Republic ties in the election and first year of the Trump presidency to the current rise of populism of the left, and there are three historical chapters that describe key moments in American history that shed light on current events: the Whiskey Rebellion, the Lincoln Republic, and the Roosevelt Republic. Guttenplan understands the magnitude of the problem of democracy, and at the same time the great possibilities for its resurgence. Like a cross between George Packer's The Unwinding and John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, The Next Republic is both unyielding and deeply hopeful, the first book to come out of the Trump ascendency that stakes a claim for seeing beyond it.
