Putnam - best-selling author of *Bowling alone* - and Manchester's Edward Fieldhouse offer a wonderfully readable account. Like *Bowling alone*, *The age of Obama* mixes social scientific rigor with accessible charts and lively arguments. It will be enjoyed by politics, sociology and geography students, as well as by 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aMinorities$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aEmigration and immigration$vCross-cultural studies 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aGreat Britain$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration 676 $a305.800941 700 $aClark$b Tom$f1976-$01032664 701 $aPutnam$b Robert D$0124930 701 $aFieldhouse$b Ed$0905307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465192203321 996 $aThe age of Obama$92450649 997 $aUNINA
