Synopsis

In a near future America desperate to atone for its troubled past, people walk the streets poised to capture intolerant behavior on their cell phones, and they send the footage in to the hit show Hate Hunters, where it is aired before the nation.

Afterwards, Alma counsels the offenders, lecturing them on the finer points of white privilege, cultural appropriation, and the lasting ravages of colonialism. But as a result of her job, she’s hyper-aware of her own whiteness, and is quietly buckling under the weight of centuries of collective guilt.

When a DNA test prompts her to change her race, she begins to question not just her own identity, but the very concept of identity—and America—in the process.

With such a high-powered microscope trained on human history, it’s not just white people who are stumbling. Corporate lawyer George’s attempts to give back to another marginalized group are deeply unwanted, and Mohammad’s American dream is under attack by his daughter Ruby, who has embraced Islam.

Heroes and villains are not clear cut in this this wickedly clever novel of ideas where deeply flawed characters must choose to either toe the party line—or risk it all to speak out, engage, and evolve. And perhaps forgive.

(Originally published as “I Hate Hate!”)
