Some of Us: A Story of Citizenship and the United States

In this powerful blend of memoir and political analysis, Heather McGhee exposes how racism costs everyone—economically, socially, and spiritually. She explores the zero-sum myth that progress for some must come at the expense of others. Traveling across America, she shares real stories of communities uniting for the common good. With empathy and sharp insight, McGhee advocates for solidarity and shared prosperity. It’s an eye-opening narrative that challenges deeply embedded beliefs and calls for collective healing. Thought-provoking and deeply hopeful, The Sum of Us invites readers to imagine a future built on equity, dignity, and mutual success.
