Publisher Description: While many studies focus on Obama as a politician, few consider his literary merit. This collection of essays approaches Obama's writings as a negotiation of literary tradition, rhetorical modes, and historical narratives. Obama, in turn, emerges as a notable figure within a long tradition of American literary-political authorship. |
