American Library in Paris Book Group

America Today

Thursdays, 17h00–18h30 (Spaces Open)

As avid readers and proud Americans who have not lived in the US for many years the leaders of America Today seek to understand contemporary American culture. Having heard all kinds of words and expressions – political correctness, CRT, wokeism, MAHA etc. – America Today hopes to define these terms by reading books focusing on current social events that get less coverage in the foreign press.

Led by Pamela Combastet and Beth Wintersteen
