HarperCollins Publishers India has announced a biography of Kamala Harris – who was sworn as the first female Vice President of the United States of America – by renowned journalist and writer Chidanand Rajghatta.
About the book
“A story of love and resilience within a narrative that has increasingly become one of division and hate. This is a story of immigration and immigrants and the Indian diaspora’s growing clout in the USA. This is the story of a woman of mixed race, who still rises. This is the story of Kamala.”
Today, Kamala Harris will be sworn in as the Vice President of the United States of America, making her the first person of Indian descent, and the first woman to rise to such a position. Are we surprised? Not really, for Kamala – the daughter of a breast-cancer scientist Indian mother and a Stanford University emeritus professor of economics Jamaican father – has been known to blaze a trail for herself in her chosen fields.
Kamala Harris: Phenomenal Woman will focus on the life and times of Kamala Harris and celebrate her Asian and Jamaican heritage – with special focus on her India connect, and her journey as a woman of colour coming to occupy one of the highest offices in the USA.
This inspiring biography is for every person who has been told that their race and caste and creed and immigration status is likely to come in the way of their success.
Rajghatta has written two books, including The Horse That Flew: How India’s Silicon Gurus Spread their Wings.
