Описание: The concept of a more perfect union remains a constant theme in the political rhetoric of Barack Obama. From his now historic race speech to his second victory speech delivered on November 7, 2012, that striving is evident. Tonight, more than two hundred years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward, stated the forty-fourth president of the United States upon securing a second term in office after a hard fought political contest. Obama borrows this rhetoric from the founding documents of the United States set forth in the U.S. Constitution and in Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address. How naive or realistic is Obamas vision of a more perfect American union that brings together people across racial, class, and political lines? How can this vision of a more inclusive America be realized in a society that remains racist at its core? These essays seek answers to these complicated questions by examining the 2008 and 2012 elections as well as the events of President Obamas first term. Written by preeminent race scholars from multiple disciplines, the volume brings together competing perspectives on race, gender, and the historic significance of Obamas election and reelection. The president heralded in his November, 2012, acceptance speech, The idea that if youre willing to work hard, it doesnt matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like . . . . whether youre black or white, Hispanic or Asian or Native American. These essayists argue the truth of that statement and assess whether America has made any progress toward that vision.
