1. The Sum Of Us
"The Sum of Us" explores the concept of the "zero-sum" paradigm—the idea that progress for some communities must come at the expense of others. Through compelling data and narratives, the book examines how this belief has fostered systemic racism and inequality in America, detrimentally affecting everyone, including white Americans. The author argues that policies designed to uplift one group do not necessarily harm others, and that a more inclusive approach to policy-making can lead to benefits for all members of society. By highlighting examples of places where cross-racial solidarity has led to greater economic prosperity and social cohesion, the book makes a case for rejecting zero-sum thinking and embracing a new vision of shared success.
