The election of Barack Obama marked a critical point in American
political and social history. Did the historic election of a black
president actually change the status of blacks in the United
States? Did these changes (or lack thereof) inform blacks'
perceptions of the President? This book explores these questions by
comparing Obama's promotion of substantive and symbolic initiatives
for blacks to efforts by the two previous presidential
administrations. By employing a comparative analysis, the reader
can judge whether Obama did more or less to promote black interests
than his predecessors. Taking a more empirical approach to judging
Barack Obama, this book hopes to contribute to current debates
about the significance of the first African American presidency. It
takes care to make distinctions between Obama's substantive and
symbolic accomplishments and to explore the significance of both.
