Read the inspiring Sunday Times bestselling memoir from the first woman, and woman of colour, to serve as Vice President of the United States.

The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President Kamala Harris was raised in a California community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as a political leader, her experiences would become her guiding light as she grappled with an array of complex issues and learned to bring a voice to the voiceless.

In The Truths We Hold, Harris reckons with the big challenges we face together. Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values as we confront the great work of our day.

A compelling life story and a galvanising account of how meaningful change is made, The Truths We Hold offers essential insight into Kamala Harris’s life and career.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kamala Harris

Kamala D. Harris, defensora da segurança pública e líder dos direitos civis e ex-senadora pelo Estado da Califórnia, é, atualmente, Vice-Presidente dos Estados Unidos da América. Começou a sua carreira na procuradoria distrital do condado de Alameda e foi, mais tarde, eleita procuradora distrital do Estado de São Francisco. Como procuradora-geral da Califórnia, Harris processou gangues transnacionais, bancos, petrolíferas e universidades privadas, e lutou contra os ataques ao Affordable Care Act (Lei de acesso universal a cuidados de saúde). Foram também bandeiras suas a luta pela redução do abandono escolar, a iniciativa pioneira de tornar públicos dados que expunham disparidades raciais no sistema de justiça criminal e a implementação de formação contra preconceitos implícitos na polícia. Foi a segunda mulher negra a ser eleita para o Senado dos Estados Unidos da América. Aí trabalhou pela reforma do sistema de justiça criminal, pelo aumento do salário mínimo, por uma educação universitária livre de propinas para a maioria dos americanos e pela proteção dos direitos legais de refugiados e imigrantes.
