Описание: Capitol Pages in the Senate, House, and Supreme Court have been an integral part of US politics and history from the earliest days of American Government. The page program itself mirrors the values, successes, and failures of our government and of our country as a whole, including our ever-evolving stances on race, gender, and equal opportunity for all. Though we now only have Senate Pages who serve after the controversial closing of the House Page Program in 2011, former pages have a unique perspective on American politics and give back not only during their service to our country’s leaders, but afterwards as prominent and engaged leaders in the fields of politics, business, military, education, art, and culture. The author, a former Senate Page herself, shares first-hand accounts along with interviews of former pages, some notable public figures today, and in-depth research on the history of Capitol Pages, their duties, schooling, experiences, victories, and downfalls. Many first-hand interviews with former pages, including some of the first African American and female pages, reveal surprising discoveries of the importance of the Capitol Page Program, including the discovery that Capitol Page School was the first integrated public school after Brown Versus Board of Education thanks to Chief Warren’s determination to set an example for the country using this page school of less than 100 students. Pages were there as first-hand witnesses on the Senate and House Floors when our country declared war, during acts of violence including 9/11, and for our many victories and tragedies in US politics and history. Senate Pages today are carrying on an important role as an essential part of a 200+ year tradition of young ambassadors working alongside our politicians in the US Capitol.

In January 2009, Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States. In the weeks and months following the election, as in those that preceded it, countless social observers from across the ideological spectrum commented upon the cultural, social and political significance of “the Obama phenomenon.” In “At this Defining Moment,” Enid Logan provides a nuanced analysis framed by innovative theoretical insights to explore how Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy both reflected and shaped the dynamics of race in the contemporary United States. Using the 2008 election as a case study of U.S. race relations, and based on a wealth of empirical data that includes an analysis of over 1,500 newspaper articles, blog postings, and other forms of public speech collected over a 3 year period, Logan claims that while race played a central role in the 2008 election, it was in several respects different from the past. Logan ultimately concludes that while the selection of an individual African American man as president does not mean that racism is dead in the contemporary United States, we must also think creatively and expansively about what the election does mean for the nation and for the evolving contours of race in the 21st century.
