"An impressionistic and often disturbing account of the 2016 presidential race . . . Sexton grapples with the Trump campaign from the perspective of the crowds reveling in the candidate's presence and message. It is a useful vantage point given the increasingly blatant bigotry in the months since the election . . . This book reveals the incremental nature of public displays of hatred, growing from harsh chants and bumper stickers to, say, an open and unmasked gathering of white supremacistsin Charlottesville . . . [His] dispatches are bracing." --The Washington Post When he agreed to cover the 2016 election season,journalist Jared Yates Sexton didn't know he wasstepping into what would become--for both politicalparties--the most rageful and divisive political circusin U.S. history. His initial dispatches showed Democrats atwar with their establishment, coming apart at theseams over the long-gestating ascendancy of HillaryClinton and the upstart momentum of BernieSanders, whose grassroots campaign provoked uprisingsof people desperate for change. Then, onJune 14, Sexton attended a Donald Trump rallyin Greensboro, North Carolina. One of the firstjournalists to witness these rallies and give mainstreamreaders an idea of the raw anger that occurredthere, Sexton found himself in the center ofa maelstrom. Following a series of tweets that sawhis observations viewed well over 1 million times,his reporting was soon featured inThe WashingtonPost, NPR,Bloomberg, andMother Jones, and hewould go on to write two pieces forThe New YorkTimes.

Named a Best Book of 2017 by The Coil
When he agreed to cover the 2016 election season, journalist Jared Yates Sexton didn't know he was stepping into what would become―for both political parties―the most rageful and divisive political circus in U.S. history.
His initial dispatches showed Democrats at war with their establishment, coming apart at the seams over the long-gestating ascendancy of Hillary Clinton and the upstart momentum of Bernie Sanders, whose grassroots campaign provoked uprisings of people desperate for change. Then, on June 14, Sexton attended a Donald Trump rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. One of the first journalists to witness these rallies and give mainstream readers an idea of the raw anger that occurred there, Sexton found himself in the center of a maelstrom. Following a series of tweets that saw his observations viewed well over 1 million times, his reporting was soon featured in The Washington Post, NPR, Bloomberg, and Mother Jones, and he would go on to write two pieces for The New York Times. Sexton gained more than 18,000 followers on Twitter in a matter of days, and received online harassments, campaigns to get him fired from his university professorship, and death threats that changed his life forever.
The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore is a firsthand account of the events that shaped the 2016 presidential election and the cultural forces that divided both parties and powered Donald Trump into the White House. Featuring in-the-field reports as well as deep analysis, Sexton's book is not just the story of the most unexpected and divisive election in modern political history. It is also a sobering chronicle of our democracy's political polarization―a result of our self-constructed, technologically assisted echo chambers.
Like the works of Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer―books that have paved the way for important narratives that shape how we perceive not only the politics of our time but also our way of life―The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore is an instant classic, an authoritative depiction of a country struggling to make sense of itself.
