Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United
States. In a country with a rich history of racial animosities,
Obama represents a notable deviation in the trajectory of America's
presidential history. At the close of his second term in office, a
survey of the personalities and events associated with his
presidency is fitting. In this walk through recent history we will
be keen to point out the president's successes, failures, and
challenges. Governing in a society ripe with ideological and
partisan polarization, the Obama Administration was surrounded by
controversy, much of it manufactured by his opponents but salient
nonetheless. This volume will attempt to provide perspective and
clarity on the most important individuals and experiences connected
to Obama during his eight years in office, but also his early life.
Information included in this volume also includes discussion of his
transition out of office and events taking place at the beginning
of the Donald Trump Administration. This second edition of
Historical Dictionary of the Barack Obama Administration contains a
chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced
entries on important personalities, including the president, his
advisors, his family, his opponents, and his critics, as well as
members of Congress, military leaders, and international leaders.
This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and
anyone wanting to know more about Barack Obama.
