In January 2009, Barack Obama became the 44th president of the
United States. In the weeks and months following the election, as
in those that preceded it, countless social observers from across
the ideological spectrum commented upon the cultural, social and
political significance of "the Obama phenomenon." In "At this
Defining Moment," Enid Logan provides a nuanced analysis framed by
innovative theoretical insights to explore how Barack Obama's
presidential candidacy both reflected and shaped the dynamics of
race in the contemporary United States. Using the 2008 election as
a case study of U.S. race relations, and based on a wealth of
empirical data that includes an analysis of over 1,500 newspaper
articles, blog postings, and other forms of public speech collected
over a 3 year period, Logan claims that while race played a central
role in the 2008 election, it was in several respects different
from the past. Logan ultimately concludes that while the selection
of an individual African American man as president does not mean
that racism is dead in the contemporary United States, we must also
think creatively and expansively about what the election does mean
for the nation and for the evolving contours of race in the 21st
century.
