A Colony in a Nation Audiobook (Free)

Emmy Award-winning current information anchor and NY Occasions best-selling author Chris Hayes argues that there are really two Americas: a Colony and a Nation. America loves to inform itself that it inhabits a post-racial globe, but just about any empirical measurewealth, unemployment, incarceration, school segregationreveals that racial inequality hasn’t improved since 1968. With the clearness and originality that recognized his prescient bestsellerTwilight of the Elites (‘a amazing polemic,’ said Ta-Nehisi in regards to a Colony within a Country Coates), award-winning journalist Chris Hayes gives a powerful brand-new framework in which to comprehend our current crisis. Hayes contends our nation has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, we venerate the law. In the Colony, we obsess over purchase; fear trumps civil rights; and aggressive policing resembles profession. How and just why do Americans create a system where conditions in Ferguson and West Baltimore mirror those that sparked the American Revolution? Blending wide-ranging historical research with politics, social, and economic analysis, A Colony inside a Country explains what sort of Country founded on justice built the Colonyand how it threatens our democracy.
