Massimo Gaggi and Tamara Jadrejcic lived in the United States for twenty years, from 2004 to 2024, witnessing the America of post-Bush euphoria, the Great Recession, Obama, and Trump. Their essay-reportage, America Dentro (Laterza), portrays a country that has stopped believing in its institutions and trusting its elites: insecure, angry, and increasingly radicalized. A journey from Alaska to Appalachia into the deep roots of America’s disorientation and the authoritarian drift shaking its democracy.
