Indivisible Houston will welcome author and political commentator Jared Yates Sexton for a discussion of this precarious moment in our national politics and the inspiration for his new book, The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore.
The book 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.
