Renowned for his insightful, common-sense critiques of racial
politics, Randall Kennedy gives us a shrewd and penetrating
analysis of the complex relationship between the first black
president and his African-American constituency.
Kennedy tackles such hot-button issues as the nature of racial
opposition to Obama; whether Obama has a singular responsibility to
African Americans; the differences in Obama's presentation of
himself to blacks and to whites; the challenges posed by the dream
of a post-racial society; the increasing irrelevance of a certain
kind of racial politics and its consequences; the complex symbolism
of Obama's achievement and his own obfuscations and evasions
regarding racial justice.
Eschewing the critical excesses of both the left and the right,
Kennedy offers an incisive view of Obama's triumphs and travails,
his strengths and weaknesses, as they pertain to the troubled
history of race in America.
