An acclaimed American author has spoken to FRANCE 24 about his theories on how American society's opinion and ideas of social justice have changed since the presidency of Barack Obama. Thomas Chatterton Williams says the left became disillusioned during Obama's second term, and in later years amid the George Floyd protests and Covid-19 pandemic the discourse shifted– initially for the left, but this also impacted the right. The ripples of those times are still resonating today.
His latest book is entitled "Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse".
