This book presents research-based investigations of the
communicative aspects of Barack Obama’s presidency, with a focus
on ethnicity, gender, and culture as they interact with
communication. It examines Obama’s rhetorical strengths, that
also inform his visual rhetorical control, and looks beyond
Obama’s messaging to examine how the news framed his presidency.
The book opens by exploring the racio-rhetorical humour applied by
President Obama during his presidency. Chapters investigate topics
such as Obama’s use of visual rhetoric, how the media framed
Obama using racialized lens, and offer iconographical analysis of
satires featured in The New Yorker that symbolized the politics of
racial fear erupting prior to the start of Obama’s presidency.
They also examine how the White House used YouTube messaging to
rebuild the first lady Michelle Obama’s image in ways that became
acceptable to a wider American public, Obama’s rhetorical
struggles to work within tensions created by the intersection of
race and violence and analyze President Obama’s speeches at
Tribal Nations Conferences. Barack Hussein Obama’s Presidency
will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of
communication studies, political communication, media and cultural
studies, race and ethnic studies, and political science, while also
appealing to anyone interested in the communicative aspects of
Obama’s presidency and American politics. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Howard Journal of
Communications.
