      abstract = {Award-winning author Steele attests that Senator Barack  Obama's groundbreaking quest for the highest office in the  land is fast becoming a galvanizing occasion beyond mere  presidential politics, one that is forcing a national  dialogue on the current state of race relations in America.  Says Steele, poverty and inequality usually are the focus  of such dialogues, but Obama's bid for so high an office  pushes the conversation to a more abstract level where race  is a politics of guilt and innocence generated by our  painful racial history--a kind of morality play between  (and within) the races in which innocence is power and  guilt is impotence. Steele maintains that Obama is caught  between the two classic postures that blacks have always  used to make their way in the white American mainstream:  bargaining and challenging; and proposes a way for him to  break these bonds and find his own voice.--From publisher  description.},
