À propos de cet audio
Emmy Award-winning news anchor and New York Times best-selling author Chris Hayes argues that there are really two Americas: a Colony and a Nation. America likes to tell itself that it inhabits a postracial world, but nearly every empirical measure - wealth, unemployment, incarceration, school segregation - reveals that racial inequality hasn't improved since 1968. With the clarity and originality that distinguished his prescient best seller Twilight of the Elites ("a stunning polemic," said Ta-Nehisi Coates), award-winning journalist Chris Hayes offers a powerful new framework in which to understand our current crisis. Hayes contends our country has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, we venerate the law. In the Colony, we obsess over order, fear trumps civil rights, and aggressive policing resembles occupation. How and why did Americans build a system where conditions in Ferguson and West Baltimore mirror those that sparked the American Revolution?
Blending wide-ranging historical research with political, social, and economic analysis, A Colony in a Nation explains how a Nation founded on justice constructed the Colony - and how it threatens our democracy.

Great Read
This is a book that everyone in America should read. It explains a lot about the racial divide and how things got to the point of needing a group like 'Black Lives Matter' Kudos to Chris Hayes.

Chaos in the Colony
Well narrated by the author; nuanced about both colony and nation, on the challenging issue of race.

An insightful new perspective
This was an intersting new lense to view the so-called 'racial divide' in America through. Hayes makes fantastic points and intriguing parallels to British colonial settlers and America today, as he walks us through modern police and criminal justice abuses.
The only gripe I have is with the use of 'black' voices. I hope that going forward, Hayes will avoid appropriating black accents, dialect, and AAVE, and will either have a black American read these parts or read them as plain quotes.
