Follow on Google News | Race in the age of ObamaNew book offers first in-depth examination of the key sociological issues faced by the Obama Administration
By: Emerald Group Publishing Race in the Age of Obama, edited by Donald Cunnigen and Marino Bruce, reflects a breadth and depth of analysis on the key racial dynamics of the Obama Administration - the changing role and impact of an African-American First Family and First Lady, the issue of social justice with an African-American head of state, the Obama campaign's originality and challenges, and the contemporary reaction to the Obama Administration's policies. Donald Cunnigen comments, “Realizing the powerful changes in American and international politics that were wrought by the unprecedented election of Obama, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of various sociological themes. The contributors to this volume attempt to shed light on the critical issues facing the Obama administration in the ever changing world. The volume is divided into six sections that highlight traditional sociological themes including the African Diaspora, gender, family, class, education, and social justice”.
