Description

Book Synopsis
Barack Obama's inauguration as the first African American president of the US has caused many commentators to conclude that America has entered a postracial age. This title argues otherwise, reminding us that, far from inevitable, Obama's nomination was nearly derailed by his relationship with Jeremiah Wright.

Trade Review
The Preacher and the Politician is a timely and provocative book. Clearly written in accessible language, it offers general readers and specialists alike a means to understand the context of the 2008 election and the pervasive complexities of America's legacy of race and racism. - Wallace Best, Princeton University, author of Passionately Human, No Less Divine
