Reading African American Experiences in the Obama Era
Theory, Advocacy, Activism- With a foreword by Marc Lamont Hill and an afterword by Zeus Leonardo
«[The] authors explore with subtlety, range, and perspective the complex ways the election of Barack Obama opens a new chapter in that long history. The result is a book that must be read, considered, debated, and challenged but not ignored.» (Earl Lewis, Provost and Asa Griggs Candler Professor of History and African American Studies, Emory University)
«Thomas and Brooks-Tatum have compiled a tapestry of fresh, post-Civil Rights era voices who poke and probe the reality of life, advocacy, and scholarship in the age of Obama [...] Whether constructing theory, exploring definitions, or addressing public policy, the essays in this book are mind-expanding, thought-provoking, and fully engaging.» (Julianne Malveaux, President, Bennett College for Women)

The essays are cogent, illuminating, hard-hitting, and inspirational [...]» (Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Founding Director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center and Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women’s Studies, Spelman College)»
