真理在手The_Truths_We_Hold_-_Kamala_Harris.pdf
The Truths We Hold: An American Journey
by Kamala Harris
《真理在手：卡马拉·哈里斯的美利坚奋斗》
副总统当选人卡马拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）是美国最鼓舞人心的政治领袖之一，这本书讲述了将我们团结在一起的核心真理，以及在她自己的生活和整个国家的生活中，为辨别这些真理是什么以及如何最好地根据这些真理而为进行的长期斗争 。
副总统当选人哈里斯致力于追求真理，这与她的成长经历密不可分。作为移民的女儿，她在加州奥克兰一个非常关注社会正义的社区长大；她一位来自牙买加的受人尊敬的经济学家和一位来自印度的受人钦佩的癌症研究员的父母，在伯克利读研究生时作为民权运动的积极分子相识。
在成长过程中，哈里斯从不掩饰自己对正义的热情，当她从法学院毕业后成为一名检察官，一名地区副检察官时，她迅速成为美国执法领域最具创新精神的变革者之一。她迅速晋升为旧金山民选地区检察官，随后成为整个加利福尼亚州的首席执法官。她以为无声者发声而闻名，在取消抵押品赎回权危机中，与大银行对簿公堂，为加州的工薪家庭赢得了历史性的和解。
她的特点是运用全面、数据驱动的方法来解决加州许多棘手的问题，始终摒弃陈旧的严厉打击犯罪的言论，因为这只会带来一系列错误的选择。对犯罪问题既不强硬也不手软，而是采取明智的态度，这成为她的口头禅。聪明意味着了解能让我们的社区变得更好的真相，并全力以赴地支持这些真相。这一直是指引哈里斯作为加州最高执法官员实现职业转型的北极星，现在也指引着她成为一名转型的美国参议员，努力解决影响她所在的州、我们的国家和世界的一系列复杂问题，从医疗保健和新经济到移民、国家安全、阿片类药物危机和日益加剧的不平等。
哈里斯在《真理在手》一书中阐述了我们共同面临的重大挑战，她从自己的职业生涯和那些曾经激励过她的人的工作中汲取了来之不易的智慧和洞察力，为我们上了一堂在充满挑战的时代解决问题、管理危机和发挥领导力的大师课。
她通过自己的人生轨迹和当今的伟大工作，传达了共同奋斗、共同目标和共同价值观的愿景。
这本书蕴含了许多家常道理，其中最重要的一点是，相对较少的人竭力说服我们中的许多人，让他们相信我们的共同点比实际共同点要少，但我们有责任超越他们，继续做好工作，实现我们的共同真理。无论是现在还是未来岁月，当我们这样做时，共同努力将继续支撑着我们和这个伟大的国家。
A New York Times bestseller From Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, 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 Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’s 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.
