"Rising Out of Hatred is a disturbing look at the spread of
that extremism -- and how it is planted and cultivated in the
fertile soil of American bigotry. And yet, Saslow's vivid
storytelling also conveys that during this period of deepening
racial division, there is the possibility of redemption.
--Washington Post
"This is a double portrait: of a worse America, and of a better
one. Neither of them has yet come to pass, but each of them might.
Thanks to reporting that is both truthful and humane, we see in one
young man's decision a guide to the choices that face a generation
and a country.
--Timothy Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of
On Tyranny and The Road to Unfreedom "The story
of Derek Black is the human being at his gutsy, self-reflecting,
revolutionary best, told by one of America's best storytellers at
his very best. Rising Out of Hatred proclaims if the
successor to the white nationalist movement can forsake his
ideological upbringing, can rebirth himself in antiracism, then
we can too no matter the personal cost. This book is an
inspiration."
--Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of
Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist
Ideas in America No one can match Eli Saslow's skill at telling the
most improbable, humane, and riveting tales of our time. Anyone
despairing at the hate that has fueled so much of America's
politics ought to read this unforgettable story.
--Jane Mayer, New York Times bestselling author of
Dark Money This is a beautiful and important book. I am a
changed person for having read it. If my father were still alive,
there would be no book I'd rather discuss with him than this. There
are gorgeous, brilliant souls at work in this powerfully told
story, and they are everything that's right and promising about our
future."
--Elisha Wiesel, son of Elie and Marion Wiesel and chairman of
the WVN Elie Wiesel Award
"Rising Out of Hatred is an unforgettable story - fair, humane,
unflinching, and brimming with insights about American racism and
the white nationalist movement. Saslow has given us an instant
classic of narrative writing and reporting."
--Steve Coll, New York Times bestselling author of Directorate S.
and Ghost Wars, winner of the Pulitzer
Prize
