Did the historic election of a black president actually change the status of blacks in the United States? Did these changes (or lack thereof) inform blacks' perceptions of the President? This book explores these questions by comparing Obama's promotion of substantive and symbolic initiatives for blacks to efforts by the two previous presidential administrations. By employing a comparative analysis, the reader can judge whether Obama did more or less to promote black interests than his predecessors. Taking a more empirical approach to judging Barack Obama, this book hopes to contribute to current debates about the significance of the first African American presidency. It takes care to make distinctions between Obama's substantive and symbolic accomplishments and to explore the significance of both" (ed.). 606 $aRelations interethniques$zE?tats-Unis$x21e siecle$2ram 606 $aNoirs americains$xConditions economiques$x21e siecle$2ram 606 $aNoirs americains$xConditions sociales$x21e siecle$2ram 606 $aPolitique et gouvernement$zE?tats-Unis$y2009-2017$2ram 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRelations interethniques$x21e siecle. 615 0$aNoirs americains$xConditions economiques$x21e siecle. 615 0$aNoirs americains$xConditions sociales$x21e siecle. 615 0$aPolitique et gouvernement 676 $a973.932 700 $aGillespie$b Andra$4aut$0846035 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480575803321 996 $aRace and the Obama Administration$91889944 997 $aUNINA
