520    Jones offers a blueprint for transforming our collective 
       anxiety into meaningful change. Tough on Donald Trump but 
       showing respect and empathy for his supporters, Jones 
       takes aim at the failures of both parties before and after
       Trump's victory. He urges both sides to abandon the 
       politics of accusation and focus on real solutions. 
       Calling us to a deeper patriotism, he shows us how to get 
       down to the vital business of solving, together, some of 
       our toughest problems. 
520    "Van Jones burst into the American consciousness during 
       the 2016 presidential campaign with an unscripted, truth-
       telling style and an already established history of bridge
       -building across party lines. His election night 
       commentary became a viral sensation. A longtime 
       progressive activist with deep roots in the conservative 
       South, Jones has made it his mission to challenge voters 
       and viewers to stand in one another's shoes and disagree 
       constructively. Now, in Beyond the Messy Truth, Jones 
       offers a blueprint for transforming our collective anxiety
       into meaningful change. Tough on Donald Trump but showing 
       respect and empathy for his supporters, Jones takes aim at
       the failures of both parties before and after Trump's 
       victory. He urges both sides to abandon the politics of 
       accusation and focus on real solutions. Calling us to a 
       deeper patriotism, he shows us how to get down to the 
       vital business of solving, together, some of our toughest 
       problems. 'The entire national conversation today can be 
       reduced to a simple statement--'I'm right, and you're 
       wrong,'' Jones has said. But the truth is messier; both 
       sides have flaws. Both parties have strayed from their 
       highest principles and let down their core constituencies.
       Rejecting today's political tribalism, Jones issues a 
       stirring call for a new 'bipartisanship from below.' 
       Recognizing that tough challenges require the best wisdom 
       from both liberals and conservatives, he points us toward 
       practical answers to problems that affect us all 
       regardless of region or ideology: rural and inner-city 
       poverty, unemployment, addiction, unfair incarceration, 
       and the devastating effects of the pollution-based economy
       on both coal country and our urban centers. In explaining 
       how he arrived at his views, Jones shares behind-the-
       scenes memories from his decades spent marching and 
       protesting on behalf of working people, inspiring stories 
       of ordinary citizens who became champions of their 
       communities, and little-known examples of cooperation that
       have risen from the fog of partisan conflict. In his quest
       for positive solutions, Van Jones encourages us to set 
       fire to our old ways of thinking about politics and come 
       together where the pain is greatest."--Jacket.
