The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together

★ Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction ★ National Book Award for Non-Fiction Longlist

Focused on what Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together, The Sum of Us brings Heather McGhee's political study to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of political science and social science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
