Coming up:

Mayflower Bookshop American special (English spoken) – Sold to the lowest bidder?

Pleun Bouricius PhD, born and bred in the Netherlands, has lived in the USA for over 40 years. A graduate of Harvard, she also worked in jobs as diverse as truck driver, university lecturer and program director and lived in several states before settling in Massachusetts with husband Terence O’Sullivan and dog Jax.

Jeroen Rodenberg, historian and public administration expert, interviews Bouricius on the challenges that Americans face in everyday life under the Trump Administration: is American democracy sold to the lowest bidder? Is it time for a new American Revolutionary war? Rodenberg and Bouricius will talk about these questions in detail. The interview will be conducted in English.

Mayflower Bookshop is excited about this chance to hear about America today first-hand and encourages you to bring your questions, no matter whether they are from an American, European, Asian or African viewpoint.
