Christina Morina brings the political shock of the USA to Bielefeld
With The American Earthquake. Experiences and Consequences for German Democracy, Christina Morina presents a non-fiction book at the University of Bielefeld that connects historical analysis with contemporary urgency. The book presentation takes place as part of the colloquium of the Faculty of History and is publicly directed at educators, researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of democracy, political culture, and astute contemporary diagnoses.
An evening between contemporary history and democratic self-examination
Morina, professor of contemporary history in Bielefeld and awarded the German Non-Fiction Prize 2024 for Thousands of New Beginnings, does not merely read from a new title. She opens a space for thought. Her book asks what Germany can learn from Trump's attack on democracy and connects personal experience with a precise historical perspective. This creates a reading atmosphere where scientific expertise, narrative tension, and cultural responsibility come together.
Why this book reaches beyond the moment
The American Earthquake describes how political upheavals impact everyday life and relates US democracy to German experiences with democracy, memory, and social change. Those who appreciate contemporary historical readings will encounter clear language, analytical depth, and an author encounter that does not fade into the feuilleton but affects the political discourse. It is precisely the combination of non-fiction, history of democracy, and personal observation that makes this evening compelling.

The venue is Building X on the campus of the University of Bielefeld. The location is oriented towards scientific public engagement and is easily accessible with the well-known campus structures.
