Barack Obama's politics are deeply informed by his profound
knowledge and understanding of his country's history. His articles,
books, and speeches are replete with references to America's past
and how that relates to the present he sees and the future he
envisions. Exploring Obama's own words, Steven Sarson examines his
interpretation of American history from colonial times to the
present, showing how Obama sees American history as beginning with
the "common creed" of equality and liberty proclaimed in the
Declaration of Independence and the "more perfect union" created by
the Constitution. He analyses Obama's understanding of the
colonies, revolution, and early nation, slavery and the civil war,
segregation and civil rights, economy and society, Native Americans
and foreign policy. An epilogue explores how Obama personifies the
American dream through the stories of individuals, including his
own. A unique and fascinating take on the past and how we interpret
it, this book will appeal to all students and scholars of American
history, as well as anyone interested in Obama's presidency.
