By any measure, the 2008 presidential race has been historic.
The race has created an enthusiasm and a high degree of interest in
politics few have ever seen before. At the center of the race is
Barack Obama, the first African American to become the presumptive
Democratic nominee. Many Americans agree with his politics, and
many don't, but most agree he is an incredible force in today's
highly-charged political world, and has come along at one of the
most crucial, difficult times in our nation's history. For a sense
of what has transpired in this campaign and how it is different
from others in America's history, this book looks at one candidate
from the perspective of quotations, made by and about Barack
Obama.
Thematically arranged chapter highlight topics including Obama's
heritage, his family, state and national politics, his run for the
presidency, the issues of the day, community activism and service,
and thoughts on race and faith. Each chapter contains an
introduction and many of the quotations are supported with
background information to give students and general readers a
better understanding of the current events and political issues at
play. Ideal for student assignments as well as for reading cover to
cover, this volume offers the most representative, revealing, and
often controversial quotes by and about a man who has created a
movement in American politics.
