The year 2008 will be remembered as the moment when the US elected
its first African American president. This revealing book seeks to
place the extraordinary rise of Barack Obama within the larger
context of a possible historic political realignment in the US and
of limits to US power in the world.For 2008 also offered a number
of history lessons that will surely inform studies of the election
and its aftermath. Carl Pedersen's book is an attempt to engage
with these history lessons. It examines the demographic changes
that will likely change the nature of American national identity.
And it assesses the extent to which the grassroots organizations
that were crucial in winning the election for Obama may influence
the way he will govern the nation.Obama's America also attempts to
map out the contours of an Obama Doctrine in foreign policy by
looking at how his identity has shaped his views on the role of the
US in the world and how he, in turn, has been influenced by his
foreign policy advisers. It examines the challenges Obama faces in
confronting a post-American world in which the US is no longer the
sole superpower.
