The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage by Jared Yates Sexton

3.0

I'm from Greensboro, the site of the rally that launched the author to national prominence. In the future, I think we will be able to point to this book on some of the early insights about the anger that fueled the 2016 election. The writing feels over dramatic in some places and loses its way when it tries to fit in things like the Comey letter for context. He also sidelined race in favor of focusing on economics. But as a grassroots story of rage, it's very interesting.
