"The First Black President" is a critical and passionate
reflection on the political and historical implications of an Obama
administration concerning the issue of race in America. Obama's
rise to political power has forever changed the contours of race
relations in the country as many hail the new age of a
"post-racial" society. Yet, an Obama presidency could further
complicate real racial progress and could set race relations back
in the country for decades to come if not viewed in the proper
context. The book demonstrates that the Obama presidency must be
celebrated as a historical triumph based on America's racist past,
but also the struggle for equality, justice and freedom must also
intensify with recognition of its global consequences. The problem
of race in America no longer just affects American citizens but
impacts cultures around the globe. The book speaks to both
optimists and pessimists alike who are struggling to understand how
race factors into the domestic and international policy agenda of
Obama who now sits in the highest seat of political and global
power.
