The Office of Academic Programs is excited to announce that the 2022-23 Colorado College Common Read book is The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together<\/i>by Heather McGhee.   <\/div>\n
In this griping text, McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the United States from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm\u2014the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. This is the story of how public goods in this country\u2014from parks and pools to functioning schools\u2014have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world\u2019s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare. In unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can\u2019t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a Black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.   <\/p>\n
