On April 29, 1992, following the acquittal of four police officers
charged with the beating and arrest of Rodney King and the earlier
killing of teenager Latasha Harlins, the city of Los Angeles
erupted in violence. Many of these events were centered on the
city’s Koreatown, where tensions between the Black and Korean
American communities had simmered for years, fueled by economic
challenges and redlining and enflamed by sensationalized and racist
media. Based on more than 100 personal interviews, Rising from the
Ashes follows these events through the eyes and experiences of the
families of King, Harlins, shooting victim Edward Jae Song Lee, and
dozens of business owners, journalists, police officers,
firefighters, activists, and other community members. Deeply
researched and compulsively readable, this is a vivid, propulsive,
and moving story of a pivotal moment in recent American history
that continues to resonate today.
