Kamala Harris er en af USA’s mest prominente og indflydelsesrige politikere, og med selvbiografien ‘Det vi tror på’, fortæller hun om sin vej til toppen af den politiske scene.Som farvet kvinde i en mandsdomineret verden har Harris været den første til rigtig mange ting. Fx var hun den første sorte og den første kvinde til at blive statsanklager i Californien, den første Sydasiatiske senator og den første farvede vicepræsidentkandidat. Og hendes politiske positioner har altid været stillet i et skeptisk lys.Harris’ tid som distriktsanklager var heller ikke uproblematisk, og i sin biografi adresserer hun, hvorfor bekæmpelsen af narkokriminalitet er så uligevægtigt fordelt, og hvorfor den altovervejende målrettes sorte og latinoer – og ikke mindst den rolle, hun selv indtog i det juridiske spil.Det er skildringen af Harris’ opvækst og karriere, og så er det frem for alt den politiske vision for en af verdens mest indflydelsesrige politikere – og de sandheder hun tror på.“Afhængigt af, hvem man spørger, er Kamala Harris enten en hip Hillary Clinton eller en politisk Beyoncé.”The Atlantic
Through the arc of her own life, Harris communicates a vision of shared struggle, purpose, and values and grapples with complex issues that affect America and the world at large, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality.
