Tavis Smiley Season 7 Episode 259 Amy Chua

Tavis Smiley season 7 episode 259 features Amy Chua, a renowned legal scholar and author, who joins Tavis to discuss her new book, "Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations." Chua argues that the United States has been unsuccessful in recent years in spreading democracy abroad due to a lack of understanding of tribal politics. She believes that in order to be successful in promoting democracy, the U.S. must have a better understanding of the tribal dynamics at play in other countries. Chua also discusses the current political climate in the U.S. and how tribalism has affected American politics. She explores the ways in which individuals align themselves with different tribes based on race, class, and other factors, and argues that this tribalism is making it increasingly difficult for political leaders to work together and make progress for the country as a whole. Tavis and Chua delve into the complexities of political tribes, exploring how individuals can better understand and bridge the gaps between different tribes in order to create a stronger, more inclusive society. Throughout the interview, Chua provides thought-provoking insights and unique perspectives, challenging viewers to think deeply about the role of tribalism in politics and society.
