ABOUT THE BOOK

Barack Obama’s entry into the US presidential race and his consequent victory reveal a series of paradoxes. The issue of his complexion goes beyond that of the Black man in the White House. For one, this man cannot be guaranteed such an elevation in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria or anywhere else in his father’s continent. In fact, most Africans of intellectual and moral standing have no reasonable chance to lead their countries.

The son of a white mother and a black father, one whose middle name is Hussein, and one who has lived and traveled widely around the world; this is not the typical biography of a President. Even 20 years ago it would have been impossible to imagine the moment. But much has changed in the past decades. The civil rights laws of the 1960s gave full legal equality to non-white citizens, although this barely altered the conditions of deprivation for those who need only glance backward to see their enslaved ancestors.

His journey through the streets of Chicago to the presidency of America On January 20, 2009 was marked by a determination to allow people to have big dreams and to tend to communities, small and large. But the advantage for Obama was that his pursuit of the highest offices came at a time when diversity had become the dominant ethos. His achievement is his and of his times. He is not a black politician, someone who wins office in a predominantly black neighborhood and principally tends to the needs of the black community. He is a dark-skinned man who leads a nation that has come to recognize its diversity. Martin Luther King’s dream has come true in America.

The 47-year-old Mr. Obama assumed power over a country longing for change after George W. Bush’s eight divisive years in the White House. That era witnessed the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the beginning of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and an economic collapse not seen since the 1930s Great Depression. 

Mr. Obama said in his first address to the nation as its new President: “Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.”
