I spent three years in my own head writing A MORE JUST FUTURE.  It felt like getting dressed in the dark … I really had no idea how things were coming out.  

Now, as early readers begin to share their reactions to the book, I am floored.  With their permission and my heartfelt appreciation, here are some reader reactions to A MORE JUST FUTURE. 

Robin Schachter:   “Gritty Patriot” has an intriguing ring to it, doesn’t it? When you finish reading Dr. Dolly Chugh’s most recent book, “A More JUST Future,” you will have learned practical concrete steps on how to become one- and why this is a worthy goal.  With wit, humor, humility and deep scholarship, Dolly methodically guides us through a process many of us are going through alone - relearning, reframing and rethinking the American history most of us were taught in American schools and popular culture.  She gently but firmly guides us through ways to hold paradoxical views of US history  in our minds - to see our faults and failures clearly, while we still aspire to be the  country of our highest ideals.

katieleavittsutton :  Chugh’s concept of “gritty patriotism” really spoke to me, an individual who loves her country but also has learned a fair amount of its history and is without a doubt, in Chugh’s words, “loving with a broken heart.”  Her interview with George Takei inspired and moved me to tears. Chugh (and Takei) remind us that it is possible to love a thing and work tirelessly to make it better while still acknowledging its deep flaws. In fact, it’s necessary to do so if we are to truly achieve justice for all. Much as the best parents must (tirelessly) hold their children accountable for their actions despite their unconditional love for them, so we must do with our country. That includes loving it enough to examine ALL of its messy, beautiful past.  #AMoreJustFuture #DollyChugh
