Kamala Harris nasceu em 20 de outubro de 1964, em Oakland, Califórnia, filha de ShyamalaGopalan, uma cientista da Índia, e Donald Harris, um economista da Jamaica. Desde jovem, Harris foi influenciada pelos valores de justiça social e igualdade, moldados pelas experiências de seus pais imigrantes e pela atmosfera política vibrante da Califórnia na década de 1960 e 1970. Durante sua juventude, Harris testemunhou de perto o Movimento dos Direitos Civis e foi inspirada por líderes como Thurgood Marshall e Shirley Chisholm. Essas influências moldaram seu compromisso com a justiça e a igualdade, princípios que guiaram sua jornada acadêmica e profissional. Em 1986, Kamala Harris ingressou na Howard University, uma das mais prestigiadas universidades historicamente negras dos Estados Unidos, onde estudou ciência política e economia. Sua formação em Howard foi crucial para desenvolver uma compreensão mais profunda das questões sociais e políticas que moldam a América contemporânea. Após se formar em Howard, Harris continuou seus estudos na Universityof California, Hastings Collegeofthe Law, onde obteve seu diploma de Juris Doctor em 1989. Durante seus anos de estudante de direito, ela começou a forjar sua carreira jurídica, dedicando-se ao serviço público e à defesa dos direitos civis. A combinação de sua formação diversificada e o ambiente político de sua juventude prepararam Kamala Harris para uma carreira distinta na advocacia e na política, marcada por um compromisso inabalável com a justiça, a igualdade e o serviço público. Após concluir seus estudos na Universityof California, Hastings Collegeofthe Law, Kamala Harris iniciou sua carreira jurídica, focando em questões de direitos civis e justiça social. Seu trabalho inicial a levou a se destacar como procuradora assistente em Alameda County, onde lidou com uma variedade de casos criminais e civis. A ascensão de Harris na advocacia foi impulsionada por seu compromisso com a comunidade e sua habilidade em conectar-se com uma ampla gama de eleitores e interessados. Em 2003, Kamala Harris foi eleita procuradora distrital de San Francisco, tornando-se a primeira mulher e a primeira pessoa de ascendência afro-americana e sul-asiática a ocupar o cargo na história da Califórnia. Durante seu mandato como procuradora distrital de San Francisco, Harris implementou políticas inovadoras focadas na reforma criminal e na redução da reincidência. Ela lançou iniciativas para combater o tráfico de drogas e melhorar a transparência dentro do sistema judicial. Sua abordagem progressista ganhou reconhecimento nacional e estabeleceu uma base sólida para suas futuras aspirações políticas. Em 2010, Kamala Harris fez história novamente ao ser eleita procuradora-geral da Califórnia, tornando-se a primeira mulher, a primeira pessoa de ascendência afro-americana e sul-asiática a ocupar o cargo. Como procuradora-geral, ela continuou a defender políticas progressistas, incluindo a reforma da justiça criminal, o aumento da proteção ao consumidor e a defesa dos direitos civis. A educação de Kamala Harris e suas experiências iniciais na advocacia não apenas moldaram suas convicções políticas, mas também estabeleceram as bases para sua ascensão meteórica na política estadual e nacional. Seu compromisso com a justiça social e sua capacidade de implementar mudanças significativas continuariam a definir sua carreira política nas décadas seguintes. Saiba Muito Mais...

A sweeping look at the war over the Amazon—as activists,locals, and indigenous tribes struggle to save it from the threat of loggers, drug lords, and corrupt cops and politicians Following doctors and detectives, environmental activists and indigenous tribes, The Third Bank of the River traces the history of the Amazon from the arrival of the first Spanish flotilla to the drones that are now mapping unexplored parts of the forest. Grounded in rigorous firsthand reporting and in-depth research, Chris Feliciano Arnold reveals a portrait of Brazil and the Amazon that is complex, bloody, and often tragic. During the 2014 World Cup, an isolated Amazon tribe emerged from the rain forest on the misty border of Peru and Brazil, escaping massacre at the hands of loggers who wanted their land. A year later, in the jungle capital of Manaus, a bloody weekend of reprisal killings inflame a drug war that has blurred the line between cops and kingpins. Both events reveal the dual struggles of those living in and around the world’s largest river. As indigenous tribes lose their ancestral culture and territory to the lure and threat of the outside world, the question arises of how best to save isolated tribes: Keep them away from the modern world or make contact in an effort to save them from extinction? As Brazil looks to be a world leader in the twenty-first century, this magnificent and vast region is mired in chaos and violence that echoes the atrocities that have haunted the rain forest since Europeans first traveled its waters.

More than simply a paragon of Brazilian samba, Dona (Lady) Ivone Lara's 1981 Sorriso Negro (translated to Black Smile) is an album deeply embedded in the political and social tensions of its time. Released less than two years after the Brazilian military dictatorship approved the Lei de Anistia (the "Opening" that put Brazil on a path toward democratic governance), Sorriso Negro reflects the seminal shifts occurring within Brazilian society as former exiles reinforced notions of civil rights and feminist thought in a nation under the iron hand of a military dictatorship that had been in place since 1964. By looking at one of the most important samba albums ever recorded (and one that also happened to be authored by a black woman), Mila Burns explores the pathbreaking career of Dona Ivone Lara, tracing the ways in which she navigated the tense gender and race relations of the samba universe to ultimately conquer the masculine world of samba composers. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

The controversial New York Times–bestselling biography of America’s most infamous president written by a master of investigative political reporting. Anthony Summers’s towering biography of Richard Nixon reveals a tormented figure whose criminal behavior did not begin with Watergate. Drawing on more than a thousand interviews and five years of research, Summers traces Nixon’s entire career, revealing a man driven by addiction to power and intrigue. His subversion of democracy during Watergate was the culmination of years of cynical political manipulation. Evidence suggests the former president had problems with alcohol and prescription drugs, was mentally unstable, and was abusive to his wife, Pat. Summers discloses previously unrevealed facts about Nixon’s role in the plots against Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende, his sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968, and his acceptance of funds from dubious sources. The Arrogance of Power shows how the actions of one tormented man influenced 50 years of American history, in ways still reverberating today. “Summers has done an enormous service. . . . The inescapable conclusion, well body-guarded by meticulous research and footnotes, is that in the Nixon era the United States was in essence a ‘rogue state.’ It had a ruthless, paranoid and unstable leader who did not hesitate to break the laws of his own country.”—Christopher Hitchens, The New York Times Book Review “A superbly researched and documented account—the last word on this dark and devious man.”—Paul Theroux
