书籍简介

这是一部感人且充满政治色彩的回忆录，讲述了 MSNBC 法律分析师、教授、民权律师和前纽约市长候选人玛雅·威利 (Maya Wiley) 所经历的创伤和行动主义的力量。

玛雅·威利出生在一个让她和她的亲人屡遭创伤的国家，在一个把行动主义、希望和韧性放在首位的家庭中长大。这种态度使她的父亲成为了尼克松的敌人，因为她的母亲组织了第三方政治平台。尽管如此，他们还是为孩子们树立了希望的榜样。在此后的几十年里，她见证了政治人物利用种族主义和法西斯主义来获得权力，见证了城市一次又一次地选举白人男性，有效地将有色人种和女性排除在政治发言权之外。因此，她一次又一次地被迫面对死亡、不公正和冷漠——就像她的民权活动家父母在她之前所做的那样。

在市长竞选进一步暴露了我们国家深刻的分歧之后，玛雅准备分享她和她父母的故事：一个在恐惧和不公面前充满激情、可能性和同情的故事。她带领读者了解她非传统的成长经历、她父亲乔治·威利的悲惨死亡和由此产生的创伤，以及她的经历如何反映种族、性别和阶级身份。在这个痛苦的背景下，玛雅记录了她在可怕的政治环境中自我成长和寻找希望的旅程。她还深入探讨了她之前的挣扎如何影响了她的平台，促使她代表那些同样感到无声或被忽视的人。通过面对和分享自己的过去，玛雅向读者展示了他们如何在逆境中保持乐观。

A moving, politically-charged memoir of surviving trauma and the power of activism from MSNBC legal analyst, professor, civil rights lawyer and former New York City Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley.

Born in a country that has repeatedly traumatized her and her loved ones, Maya Wiley grew up in a household that prioritized activism, hope, and resilience above all else. This attitude landed her father on President Nixon's enemies list as her mother organized third-party political platforms. Still, they modeled hope for their babies. In the decades since, she has borne witness as presidents and political figures used racism and fascism to gain power, and as cities have again and again elected white men, effectively shutting out people of color and women from having a political voice. As a result, she has been forced, time after time, to confront death, injustice, and indifference-just as her Civil Rights activist parents did before her.

After a mayoral race that further exposed our country's deep divisions, Maya is ready to share her story and that of her parents: one of passion, possibility, and compassion in the face of fear and injustice. She takes readers through her unconventional upbringing, her father George Wiley's tragic death and the resulting trauma, as well as how her experiences spoke to racial, gender, and class identity. Against this painful backdrop, Maya charts her journey of coming into herself and finding hope in a dire political landscape. She also digs into how her previous struggles informed her platform, driving her to represent those who have similarly felt voiceless or ignored. In facing and sharing her own past, Maya shows readers how they too can remain optimistic in the face of adversity.
