Totuus ratkaisee – silloinkin kun se tekee kipeää. Yhdysvaltojen politiikan ykkösnaisen muistelmat. Kamala Harrisin muistelmissa henkilökohtainen rehellisyys loistaa jokaiselta sivulta. Harris kertoo, kuinka jamaikalais-intialaisen siirtolaisparin tyttärestä kasvoi Yhdysvaltojen ensimmäinen naispuolinen varapresidentti. Harrisin vanhemmat olivat kansalaisoikeusliikkeen aktivisteja, ja sieltä hänen maailmankuvansa ja arvonsa kumpuavat. Työssään syyttäjänä Harris tunnettiin tiukkana ammattilaisena, joka kuitenkin uskalsi antaa äänen yhteiskunnan äänettömille. Totuuden puolella -muistelmissaan hän pohtii oikeudenmukaisuutta, identiteettiä ja nais- ja rotukysymyksiä. Ja sitä, miten päätöksenteko perustetaan tiedolle ja totuudelle, ei mielipiteille. Harris kertoo äidistään, isästään ja miehestään ja antaa mestariluokan oppitunnin johtajuudesta vaikeina aikoina. Kamala D. Harris on Yhdysvaltojen varapresidentti. Hän aloitti uransa piirisyyttäjänä kotiosavaltiossaan Kaliforniassa, missä hän toimi myös oikeusministerinä. Harris oli kaikkien aikojen toinen Yhdysvaltojen senaattiin valittu musta nainen sekä nykyisessä tehtävässään ensimmäinen musta, ensimmäinen amerikanintialainen ja ensimmäinen nainen.

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

Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, Senator Kamala Harris is committed to speaking the truth. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in a community that cared deeply about social justice and, from facing prejudice at a young age, Harris never hid her passion for doing what is right. Throughout her career, from starting out as a prosecutor right up to her position as California's Attorney General, and now as a US Senator, her hallmarks have been applying a compassionate yet data-driven approach to the thorniest issues, whether it's taking on the big banks or rejecting stale 'tough on crime' rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither 'tough' nor 'soft' but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. 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. By reckoning 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, Kamala Harris offers a master class in problem solving, crisis management, and leadership.

From one of America's most inspiring political leaders, a book about the core truths that unite us, and the long struggle to discern what those truths are and how best to act upon them, in her own life and across the life of our country. Senator Kamala Harris' commitment to speaking truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California community that cared deeply about social justice; her parents--an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired cancer researcher from India--met as activists in the civil rights movement when they were graduate students at Berkeley. Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly established herself as one of the most innovative change agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco, and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California as a whole. Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, she took on the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for California's working families. Her hallmarks were applying a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California's thorniest issues, always eschewing stale "tough on crime" rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither "tough" nor "soft" but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. That has been the pole star that guided Harris to a transformational career as the top law enforcement official in California, and it is guiding her now as a transformational United States Senator, grappling with an array of complex issues that affect her state, our country, and the world, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality. By reckoning 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, Kamala Harris offers in THE TRUTHS WE HOLD a master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times. Through the arc of her own life, on into the great work of our day, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values. In a book rich in many home truths, not least is that a relatively small number of people work very hard to convince a great many of us that we have less in common than we actually do, but it falls to us to look past them and get on with the good work of living our common truth. When we do, our shared effort will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years to come.

Before Kamala Harris became a district attorney and a United States senator, she was a little girl who loved superheroes. And when she looked around, she was amazed to find them everywhere! In her family, among her friends, even down the street—there were superheroes wherever she looked. And those superheroes showed her that all you need to do to be a superhero is to be the best that you can be. In this empowering and joyful picture book that speaks directly to kids, Kamala Harris takes readers through her life and shows them that the power to make the world a better place is inside all of us. And with fun and engaging art by Mechal Renee Roe, as well as a guide to being a superhero at the end, this book is sure to have kids taking up the superhero mantle (cape and mask optional).
