Description
In 2008, Barack Obama's historic victory was heralded as a turning point for the country. And so it would be, just not in the way that most Americans hoped. The election of the nation's first Black president fanned long-burning embers of white supremacy, igniting a new and frightening phase in a historical American cycle of racial progress and white backlash. Wesley Lowery charts the return of this blood-stained trend, showing how the forces of white power retaliated against Obama's victory, and both profited from, and helped to propel, the rise of Donald Trump. Interweaving deep historical analysis with gripping firsthand reporting on both victims and perpetrators of violence, Lowery uncovers how this vicious cycle is carrying us into ever more perilous territory, how the federal government has failed to intervene, and how we still might find a route of escape.
