I Heart Obama di Erin Aubry Kaplan
I love this book by Erin Aubry Kaplan. I believe I am her doppelganger, though not the evil twin type. Her expression of love, admiration and respect for him runs deep and she expresses it in a heartfelt manner. With smarts and clarity she also talks about Obama's flaws and the complicated relationship he had with the African American community. Now two years into Trumps term it is heartbreaking and unbearable to remember all of the excitement and hope we had but his principled relationships ( I have never read a negative book about him from people who worked for him) still guides so many of us as we continue to fight for racial justice.… (altro)
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.In this excellent work, Kaplan shares her insights on journalism, race, gender, and politics gleaned from many years of experience in the field. This book is thoughtful, captivating, and well-written.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This is a readable, yet in-depth, study on our first black president from the viewpoint of a black woman. She went into some very interesting things that, as a person without color, I hadn't thought about. I have been a fan of Obama and will be sad to see him replaced by either of the current options before us (as of 8/2016). That said, this book examines some very interesting cultural perspectives. A solid read.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Erin Aubry Kaplan writes a very balanced perspective on Obama. What Obama means to African Americans is as varied as there are people and just as complex. Erin examines all the varied views of Obama with candor and in the proper context of American society and values. Whatever opinion the reader has about Obama, Erin Aubry Kaplan may broaden his/her perspective. Highly recommended.
