"By looking at Obama's political rise through the prism of our racial history, Remnick gives us the conflicting agendas of black politicians: the dilemmas of ... heroes of the civil rights movement who are forced to reassess old loyalties and understand the priorties of a new generation of African-American leaders. The Bridge revisits the American drama of race, from slavery to civil rights, and makes clear how Obama's quest is not just his own but is emblematic of a nation where destiny is defined by individuals keen to imagine a future that is different from the reality of their current lives." -- from publisher description. 000342024 60010 $$aObama, Barack. 000342024 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bCongress.$$bSenate$$vBiography. 000342024 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000342024 650_0 $$aPresidential candidates$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000342024 650_0 $$aAfrican American politicians$$zIllinois$$zChicago$$vBiography. 000342024 650_0 $$aAfrican American legislators$$zIllinois$$vBiography. 000342024 650_0 $$aLegislators$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000342024 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y2001-2009. 000342024 651_0 $$aIllinois$$xPolitics and government$$y1951- 000342024 85200 $$bgen$$hE908$$i.R46$$i2010 000342024 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:342024$$pGLOBAL_SET 000342024 980__ $$aBIB 000342024 980__ $$aBOOK
