‘Esto no va de Trump’: an illustrated review of the U.S. President's policies
Catarata publishers and Atalayar magazine will present the book 'Esto no va de Trump' ("This is not about Trump") on October 1st at 12:30 in the Gabriela Mistral Amphitheatre in Madrid. The event will be attended by the authors José María Peredo and Begoña Moreno, and will be presented by the diplomat Inocencio Arias and the journalists Carlos Franganillo and Vicente Vallés.
'Esto no va de Trump', published by Catarata publishing house thanks to the sponsorship of Atalayar between two shores, is an open and cross-cutting critical interpretation of international and US policy during Donald Trump's term as President of the United States.
Each of the pages in this book is a unique lesson in understanding Trump's rise to power and the inevitable consequences and how international principles work in today's world.
The book compiles some of the articles that José María Peredo has written for La Razón and Atalayar between two shores published between the autumn of 2016 and the winter of 2019. On the other hand, Begoña Moreno's illustrations accompany the texts and try to visually contextualize the main themes. This selection of articles has a prologue by the journalist and director of the magazine Atalayar between two shores, Javier Fernández Arribas.
The work is divided into three blocks: Ideas and Networks, American Politics and Foreign Policy. The first deals with current affairs in democracy, culture and communication; in American Politics the book develops and analyses campaigns, environments, leaders, foreign and security policy and the Presidency in the United States. The third block examines relations and the existing context with China, North Korea, Europe, France, the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela.
