CultureThomas Chatterton Williams on Covid-19, George Floyd protests and US social justice

Author Thomas Chatterton Williams says the American left grew disillusioned during Barack Obama’s second term. He argues that the George Floyd protests and Covid-19 pandemic later shifted the social justice debate, first on the left and then also affecting the right, with their effects still felt today. His latest book is “Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse”.
