Ilana Mercer is a paleolibertarian[1] author, columnist, blogger and thinker. She is the author of three books, including Into the Cannibals Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa (2011) and The Trump Revolution: The Donald's Creative Destruction Deconstructed (2016), which was "the first libertarian defense" of the Trump candidacy.[2]

Early Life

Ilana Mercer was born in South Africa.[3] Her father, a rabbi and "vocal opponent of apartheid,"[4][5] was "harassed by the South African security forces"[6] and, consequently, moved his family to Israel.[3] Later returning to the country of her birth, Mercer earned degrees at the University of South Africa,[3] before immigrating to Canada and finally settling in the United States.[3]

Column

Mercer's weekly column began in 1999, in the now defunct Canadian North Shore News,[7] and currently appears on WorldNetDaily.com,[8] the Unz Review,[9] Townhall,[10] Quarterly Review,[11] and American Greatness.[12]
