Barack Obama's campaign and electoral victory demonstrated the
dynamic nature of American democracy. Beginning as a special issue
of The Black Scholar, this probing collection illustrates the
impact of "the Obama phenomenon" on the future of U.S. race
relations through readings on Barack Obama's campaign as well as
the idealism and pragmatism of the Obama administration. Some of
the foremost scholars of African American politics and culture from
an array of disciplines--including political science, theology,
economics, history, journalism, sociology, cultural studies, and
law--offer critical analyses of topics as diverse as Obama and the
media, Obama's connection with the hip hop community, the public's
perception of first lady Michelle Obama, voter behavior, and the
history of racial issues in presidential campaigns since the 1960s.
