Paperback. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From an award-winning journalist at The Atlantic, these searing essays make a powerful case that real hope lies not in a sunny nostalgia for American greatness but in seeing this history plainin all of its brutality, unadorned by euphemism (The New York Times).NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR No writer better demonstrates how American dreams are so often sabotaged by American history. Adam Serwer is essential.Ta-Nehisi Coates Featuring additional elements: essays on how the Supreme Court undermines justice, and a new epilogue that connects the post-reconstruction narrative with todays political discourseTo many, our most shocking political crises appear unprecedentedun-American, even. But they are not, writes The Atlantics Adam Serwer in this prescient essay collection, which dissects the most devastating moments in recent memory to reveal deeply entrenched dynamics, patterns as old as the country itself. The January 6 insurrection, anti-immigrant sentiment, and American authoritarianism all have historic roots that explain their continued power with or without President Donald Trumpa fact borne out by what has happened since his departure from the White House.Serwer argues that Trump is not the cause, he is a symptom. Serwers phrase the cruelty is the point became among the most-used descriptions of Trumps era, but as this book demonstrates, it resonates across centuries. The essays here combine revelatory reporting, searing analysis, and a clarity thats bracing. In this new, expanded version of his bestselling debut, Serwer elegantly dissects white supremacys profound influence on our political system, looking at the persistence of the Lost Cause, the past and present of police unions, the mythology of migration, and the many faces of anti-Semitism. In so doing, he offers abundant proof that our past is present and demonstrates the devastating costs of continuing to pretend its not. The Cruelty Is the Point dares us, the reader, to not look away. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
