Description
THE AFROCENTRIC OBAMA AND LESSONS ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING
This book is a critical examination of Barack Obama's identity from an Afrocentric perspective. Through a systematic analysis of original data it suggests that one of the less researched areas of Obama's identity - his African heritage - contributes to a holistic understanding of a defining global figure. The book addresses two other issues: (a) campaign lessons and (b) Obama's values. This book is an inter-disciplinary work that straddles media, communication, political, sociological, African and international studies. Overall, personhood in a detailed and contextual manner by deconstructing narratives from an Afrocentric lens. For anyone around the world interested in learning more about Barack Obama's identity and politics, this would be a useful book.
