Kamala is a beautiful tribute to Kamala Harris's remarkable rise from District Attorney in California to her historic presidential run in 2024. Curated by Deborah Willis and Kevin Merida, this visually captivating book features nearly 150 vibrant photographs that capture the joy, challenges, and triumphs of Harris's campaign.

Rather than following a strict timeline, the book is thematically arranged into sections like "Family & Early Life," "The Ascent," and "Powerful Rooms." Each section offers a unique perspective on Harris's multifaceted life and career, complemented by insightful essays that place this pivotal election in context. It's an essential read for anyone intrigued by American politics, women's history, and the significance of representation.

Regardless of the election's outcome, this book celebrates Harris's indomitable spirit and the groundbreaking nature of her campaign. It's a perfect keepsake of this trailblazing event and is perfect for fans, political enthusiasts, and anyone inspired by a woman who dares to break barriers and make history.

Deborah Willis is a photo historian, photographer, and is a professor and chair of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. A Guggenheim and MacArthur fellow, she coauthored Obama: The Historic Campaign in Photographs. She lives in New York City.

Kevin Merida is a contributing essayist to The Washington Post and the former executive editor of the Los Angeles Times.
