Full Of The Hope That The Present Has Brought Us: Obama And America

by Michael Eric Dyson

When Barack Obama clinched his bid for president, his victory redefined politics-as-usual, cast America's race relations in a bold new light, and energised pop culture throughout. This book explores how Obama often resisted race, as he led America beyond the paralysing polemic of black and white.
