Requests:  0 Summary:  Veteran journalist Ifill sheds new light on the impact of Barack Obama's presidential victory and introduces the emerging African American politicians forging a new path to political power. Ifill argues that the Black political structure formed during the Civil Rights movement is giving way to a generation who are the direct beneficiaries of the struggles of the 1960s. She offers detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama, as well as numerous up-and-coming figures. Drawing on exclusive interviews with power brokers such as President Obama, Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, his son Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., and many others, as well as her own observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict, the race/gender clash, and the "black enough" conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in history.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.93209 If Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.93209 If Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.93209 Ifill Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.93209 If Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.93209 If Checked In Add Copy to MyList
