Reviews:
-Senator Barack Obama is on the precipice of making a historical political statement in the United States. The second African-American senator from Illinois, and only the fifth overall, is the first African-American presidential candidate. This book offers an insightful account and analysis of his meteoric rise and unprecedented mass appeal to the American people....Barack Obama, the New Face of American Politics is part of a series dedicated to the study of women and minorities in politics. The authors, whjo are both political science professors, begin this work with the obligatory biographical information and political timeline. Its uniqueness stems from the critical and detailed account of Obama's state senate career in Illinois, followed by an analysis of the 2004 U.S. Senate campaign....This book is recommended for academic and large public libraries, political science scholars and researchers, and general readers interested in the personal and political genesis of Barack Obama. —MultiCultural Review
-In light of this year's heated campaign, libraries might wish to bolster their political science sections. The authors explore the early political career of Barack Obama, includes a brief biography, and discusses Obama's career in the Illinois State Senate....The goals of each chapter are clearly set out and methodically achieved. Every point is clearly sourced, and the book does not seem rushed to publication as hot topic books often are. The many quotes and statistics are well synthesized and not pasted together. —VOYA
