Perhaps no other presidential candidate or sitting president has
attracted as much attention from rhetorical critics as Barack
Obama. Much of this work was conceived and written during Obama's
initial presidential campaign, or relatively early in his two terms
in office. This book provides rhetorical critics an opportunity to
revisit their published work on Obama in light of events that have
occurred since its publication. In each chapter, these eminent
critics begin by summarizing the analysis and conclusions in their
original essays on Obama, and then reflect on their previous
conclusions, revising or extending them in response to developments
since the publication of the original work. The chapters provide a
glimpse into the inventional strategies of practicing critics and
into some of the ways that that critical insights may evolve over
time. Scholars rarely have an opportunity to publish essays that
reflect on their own previous work, even though few resources can
be of greater use to both beginning critics and to established
scholars seeking to continue to hone and reflect on their critical
practice. This book, then, makes an important contribution not only
to the existing literature on the 44th president of the United
States, but also and perhaps most significantly to the study of the
art and craft of rhetorical criticism.
