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

  • Links

  • 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.

    Carl Bernstein

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Carl Bernstein?s stunning portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton shows us, as nothing else has, the true trajectory of her life and career with its zigzag bursts of risks taken and safety sought. Bernstein clarifies the often amazing dynamic of their marriage, shows us the extent to which Hillary has been instrumental in the triumphs and troubles of Bill Clinton?s governorship and presidency, and sheds light on her own political brilliance and her blind spots?especially her suspicion and mishandling of the press and her overt hostility to the opposition that clouded her entry into the capital. In the emotional and political chaos of the Lewinsky affair we see Hillary, despite her immense hurt and anger, standing by her husband?evoking a rising wave of sympathy from a public previously cool to her.

  • Description

    ?From James Patron?s 1855 Life of Horace Greeley through Greeley?s 1868 autobiography Recollections of a Busy Life, and down to the present, dozens of voices have told the story and legend of Horace Greeley. ?The Wall Street Journal “Williams gives a straightforward account . Succeeds in portraying [Greeley] as a leading figure in the struggle to define freedom ‘as a universal good better than the liberty that tolerated slavery.’ ” ?The New York Times “A comprehensive biography of Greeley (1811?72), deftly analyzing the price he paid to brook no intrusion, partisan or otherwise, on his principles. ?New York Sun ?Through research involving many new primary sources, Williams opens our eyes to many unknown or unappreciated facets of this fearless editor and political strategist, as well as his influence over Abraham Lincoln, William Seward, and reforms of society of all types?.[E]ssential for those wanting to understand the social and political climate in the United States during the time between what some have called the two American revolutions ? Ritchie, author of Reporting from Washington: The History of the Washington Press Corps “Williams describes the Civil War editor and politician Horace Greeley as a ‘great mind and heart.’ I agree. Horace Greeley is as rigorous and vast as Greeley himself, and as America itself in the long nineteenth century. In the first comprehensive biography of Greeley to be published in nearly half a century, Williams captures Greeley from all sides: editor, reformer, political candidate, eccentric, and trans-Atlantic public intellectual; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
