La historia de la primera mujer vicepresidenta de Estados Unidos

Una reveladora biografía de la primera mujer de color en presentarse a la vicepresidencia de Estados Unidos, demostrando cómo la hija de dos inmigrantes en la segregada California se convirtió en una de las políticas más poderosas del país.

Kamala Harris es una mujer muy poco convencional, y su historia personal representa lo mejor de Estados Unidos. Creció siendo la hija mayor de una madre soltera, una investigadora especializada en cáncer que emigró de la India a los diecinueve años en busca de una educación mejor. Se separó de su marido, un economista originario de Jamaica, cuando Kamala tenía cinco años.

La Kamala Harris que la gente conoce es dura, inteligente, ingeniosa y exigente. Como fiscal, sus argumentos agudos son legendarios, pero se muestra más reticente cuando tiene que hablar de sí misma, incluso en sus memorias. Afortunadamente, el reportero de Los Angeles Times Dan Morain ha estado siempre a su lado, desde el principio de su carrera profesional.

En Kamala Harris, Morain explica su carrera profesional desde sus inicios, trabajando en casos de abusos de menores y homicidios como fiscal de distrito del condado de Alameda y también la relación que a los veintinueve años mantuvo con Willie Brown, alcalde en aquella época de la ciudad de San Francisco y el hombre más poderoso del estado de California, una relación que duró cinco años y que terminó cambiando por completo la vida de Kamala.

Morain lleva a los lectores a los años en los que Kamala fue también fiscal de distrito de San Francisco, relata sus primeros contactos con el aquel entonces muy poco conocido Barack Obama y detalla a la vez cómo se fue abriendo paso hasta convertirse en senadora de Estados Unidos.
Morain analiza también su fracaso como candidata a la presidencia y la campaña que libró entre bambalinas para hacerse finalmente con la candidatura a la vicepresidencia. Este es un retrato muy fiel de sus valores y sus prioridades, del tipo de personas de las que se rodea, del tipo de problemas en los que se desenvuelve mejor y de los pasos en falso y los riesgos que ha tenido que asumir en su camino a la cima política de su país.

«Una biografía repleta de detalles. Kamala Harris omitió muchos detalles eb su propia autobiografía. Dan Morain se ha encargado de llenar muchos de esos espacios en blanco. The Wall Street Journal

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to stand for Vice President, charting how the daughter of two immigrants in segregated California became one of this country's most effective power players.

There's very little that's conventional about Kamala Harris, and yet her personal story also represents the best of America. She grew up the eldest daughter of a single mother, a no-nonsense cancer researcher who emigrated from India at the age of nineteen in search of a better education. She and her husband, an accomplished economist from Jamaica, split up when Kamala was only five.

The Kamala Harris the public knows today is tough, smart, quick-witted, and demanding. She's a prosecutor--her one-liners are legendary--but she's more reticent when it comes to sharing much about herself, even in her memoirs. Fortunately, former Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain has been there from the start.

In Kamala's Way, he charts her career from its beginnings handling child molestation cases and homicides for the Alameda County District Attorney's office and her relationship as a twenty-nine-year-old with the most powerful man in the state: married Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a relationship that would prove life-changing. Morain takes readers through Harris's years in the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyzes her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. Along the way, he paints a vivid picture of her values and priorities, the kind of people she brings into her orbit, the sorts of problems she's good at solving, and the missteps, risks, and bold moves she's made on her way to the top.

Kamala's Way is essential reading for all Americans curious about the woman standing by Joe Biden's side.
