[302]-308) and index. 330 $bBarack Obama has been called a transformative and transcendental figure, this book shows us just how significant the movement behind him was for the politics of the United States.Horace Campbell examines the networks that made the electoral victory possible and discusses the importance of self-organization and self-emancipation in politics. Situated in the context of the agency of new social forces galvanised in the 2008 electoral season, the book develops a theory of politics that starts with the humanist principles of ubuntu, healing and reparations for the 21st century. It argues that key ideas like quantum politics and a 'network of networks' move away from old forms of vanguardism during a period in history that can be characterised as a revolutionary moment.This book is an essential guide to new forms of political organisation in the US. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xElection$y2008 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPresidential candidates$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2001-2009 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2009- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPresidents$xElection 615 0$aPolitical campaigns$xHistory 615 0$aPresidential candidates 676 $a324.9730931 700 $aCampbell$b Horace$0511222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461408503321 996 $aBarack Obama and twenty-first-century politics$9762495 997 $aUNINA
