Escrito en primera persona, esta autobiografÃa es la presentación al mundo de Kamala Harris.
Estoy hablando . Con esa contundente frase dicha en medio de un debate electoral se daba a conocer la que más tarde acabarÃa siendo la primera mujer vicepresidenta de Estados Unidos. La primera mujer y la primera afroamericana. Una frase que resume como ninguna otra lo que ella es y, más importante aún, lo que representa su elección.
En estas memorias, Kamala recorre una trayectoria personal que desde sus orÃgenes está impregnada de la lucha constante por la justicia social y la defensa de los más vulnerables; la de los niños vÃctima de abusos en su etapa como fiscal, la del matrimonio gay durante su cargo como Fiscal general de California, o la de las familias desahuciadas durante la crisis hipotecaria.
Kamala Harris, criada por su madre india en una comunidad afroamericana muy vinculada a los derechos civiles, reflexiona en este libro sobre la importancia de alzar la voz contra los prejuicios y sobre los personajes, públicos y privados, que la han inspirado. Un libro emocionante y escrito con honestidad, cuya lectura no solo nos sumerge en la vida de una mujer que ha hecho historia a cada paso de su carrera, sino que además nos permite evaluar los importantes cambios polÃticos y sociales vividos en las últimas cinco décadas y los desafÃos que nos aguardan.
Una historia personal que consigue emocionar. Los Angeles Times.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The #1 New York Times bestseller
The thrilling and inspiring autobiography of the current Vice President and Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States.
A life story that genuinely entrances. --Los Angeles Times
An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of [Harris's] life...Revealing and even endearing. --San Francisco Chronicle
The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President Kamala Harris was raised in an Oakland, California, community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as one of the political leaders of our time, 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, she 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.
