We Were Eight Years in Power
Description
In this powerful collection of essays, the author reflects on the eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the enduring realities of race in America. Drawing on his earlier writing as well as new commentary, he examines the country’s political transformation, the legacy of slavery and segregation, Black identity, and the rise of a resurgent white nationalism. Personal, incisive, and historically informed, the book connects the Obama era to broader questions of power, progress, and the unfinished struggle for racial justice.
