Michelle : A Biography

Barack Obama : The Politics Of Hope

A Bound Man : Why We Are Excited About Obama And Why He Can’t Win

  • A Bound Man : Why We Are Excited About Obama And Why He  Can't Win
  • Attribution

    Shelby Steele
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st Free Press hardcover ed, Free Press, 2008
  • Description

    In Shelby Steele’s beautifully wrought and thoughtprovoking new book, A Bound Man, the award-winning and bestselling author of The Content of Our Character attests that Senator Barack Obama’s groundbreaking quest for the highest office in the land is fast becoming a galvanizing occasion beyond mere presidential politics, one that is forcing a national dialogue on the current state of race relations in America. Says Steele, poverty and inequality usually are the focus of such dialogues, but Obama’s bid for so high an office pushes the conversation to a more abstract level where race is a politics of guilt and innocence generated by our painful racial history — a kind of morality play between (and within) the races in which innocence is power and guilt is impotence.
