Emmy Award-winning news flash anchor and NY Situations best-selling author Chris Hayes argues that we now have really two Americas: a Colony and a Nation. America likes to inform itself that it inhabits a post-racial world, but nearly every empirical measurewealth, unemployment, incarceration, college segregationreveals that racial inequality hasn’t improved since 1968. With the clearness and originality that distinguished his prescient bestsellerTwilight from 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 new framework where to understand our current crisis. Hayes contends our country offers fractured in two: the Colony and the country. In the Nation, we venerate the law. In the Colony, we obsess over purchase; fear trumps civil privileges; and aggressive policing resembles occupation. How and why did Americans build a system where conditions in Ferguson and West Baltimore mirror the ones that sparked the American Revolution? Blending wide-ranging historic research with political, social, and financial evaluation, A Colony in a Nation explains what sort of Nation founded on justice constructed the Colonyand how it threatens our democracy.
