In August 2017, violence erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia,
during two days of demonstrations by white supremacists, neo-Nazis,
and counterprotesters, including members of antifa and Black Lives
Matter. Ostensibly motivated by the city's plans to remove
Confederate statues from two public parks, members of the alt-right
descended first on the University of Virginia and then,
disastrously, on the city's downtown. As these violent and
ultimately deadly events gripped the attention of the nation,
extensive coverage in both mainstream and fringe media promulgated
competing narratives.Summer of Hate is the investigative journalist
Hawes Spencer's unbiased, probing account of August 11 and 12.
Telling the story from the perspectives of figures on all sides of
the demonstrations, Spencer, who reported from Charlottesville for
the New York Times, carefully recreates what happened and why.
Focusing on individuals including activists, city councilors, faith
leaders, and the police, Spencer creates an objective, panoramic
narrative that renders these dramatic events, and the ongoing
conflicts underlying them, in all their Complexity.
