A Colony in a Nation

In his thought-provoking audiobook, Emmy Award-winning journalist Chris Hayes explores the deep divides within America, framing it as consisting of two distinct parts: the Colony and the Nation. Despite the perception of progress towards a postracial society, Hayes reveals that racial inequalities persist across multiple metrics. Drawing on extensive historical research and a blend of political, social, and economic analysis, he examines how fears and aggressive policing in the Colony reflect a troubling echo of past injustices, threatening the very foundations of democracy.
