Kamala Harris' Campaign for President: The Intersection of Black, South Asian and Gender Histories with Electoral Politics and Policy

Kamala Harris’ nomination as the first Black and South Asian (Indian) American woman to run for President of the United States is unprecedented and historic. What do her candidacy and campaign tell us about who we are as Americans? How are we engaging in conversations around multiracial, immigrant and gender identities?
