Samenvatting
The making of a visionary political leaderand a blueprint for a more equitable country.
Insightful, emotional, and enraging. By sharing his story in gripping detail, Michael Tubbs embodies an old feminist tradition whereby the personal is political. He empowers us to fight for equal opportunities for our communities, and encourages us to amass the courage to overcome loss and injustice.Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist.
Dont tell nobody our business, Michael Tubbss mother often told him growing up. For Michael, that meant a lot of things: dont tell anyone about the day-to-day struggle of being Black and broke in Stockton, CA. Dont tell anyone the pain of having a father incarcerated for 25 years to life. Dont tell anyone about living two lives, the brainy bookworm and the kid with the newest Jordans. And also dont tell anyone about the particular joys of growing up with three momsa Nana who never let him miss church, an Auntie whod take him to the library any time, and a mother, She-Daddy, who schooled him in the wisdom of hip-hop and taught him never to take no for an answer.
So for a long time Michael didnt tell anyone his story, but as he went on to a scholarship at Stanford and an internship in the Obama White House, he began to realize the power of his experience, the need for his perspective in the halls of power. By the time he returned to Stockton to become, in 2016 at age 26, its first Black mayor and the youngest-ever mayor of a major American city, he knew his story meant something.
The Deeper the Roots is a memoir astonishing in its candor, voice, and clarity of vision. Tubbs shares with us the city that raised him, his family of badass women, his life-changing encounters with Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama, the challenges of governing in the 21st century and everything in betweenen route to unveiling his compelling vision for America rooted in his experiences in his hometown.
