Kamala Harris: The Biography By University Press
Kamala Harris is making history as the first woman of color expected to become the vice president of the United States, breaking obstacles that have kept men and women — engrained at the highest levels of American politics for more than two centuries.
With her elevation to the vice presidency, Ms. Harris will become the first woman and first woman of color to hold that office, a milestone for a nation in turmoil, struggling with a detrimental history of racial injustice exposed, yet again, in a divisive election.
Ms. Harris, 56, embodies the future of a country that is budding more racially diverse.
Is Harris a careerist or an activist? Is she pragmatic or progressive? These are questions that have been debated for years.
Whatsoever occurs next, Harris’s vice-presidency will make a remarkable history. She will be the first black American and the first Asian American to hold the country’s second highest office. It is difficult to exaggerate how powerful that is after four years of Trump.
