Klappentext
A biography that places a life and achievements in the context of modern American history, particularly the rise of multiculturalism, race relations, women's equality, and growing political polarization.
The daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India who were very involved in the civil rights movement, Kamala Harris understood early on the meaning of social justice and political engagement. This overview highlights Harris' journey from an early childhood in Oakland, CA to the current day: From her family and cultural influences to her college years at Howard Collage and Law School, from her early law work in San Francisco, where she was elected as the first African American and first woman to serve as California's Attorney General, to her time as CA senator--all which paved the way to Harris becoming the first woman in the vice presidency seat. A useful first-stop resource for students of American history, political science, and women's studies, this examination places each of her milestone accomplishments in its historical context, illuminating not only the current political landscape but her significance to the contemporary challenges women of color in politics continue to face. A detailed chronology, curated sidebars throughout, chronological sequencing, and a comprehensive bibliography of vetted next-step resources guide students through the topics and to the next steps of their research.
