Ta-Nehisi Coates, in The Nation, proclaims that the president has redefined blackness for white America, while Adolph Reed, Jr., in The Progressive, calls him a vacuous opportunist and Colson Whitehead, in The New York Times, lightheartedly revels in the election of someone who looked like me . . . slim. The First Lady is considered, too, as Lauren Collins, in The New Yorker, assesses the radical quality of Michelle Obama's very normalcy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003cb\u003eBest African American Essays 2010\u003c\/b\u003e goes beyond the Obamas with brilliant pieces from such writers as Hua Hsu, who declares the end of white America in a new cultural mainstream which prizes diversity above all else; Henry Louis Gates, who researches his family tree, adding to the young discipline that is African American history; and Jelani Cobb, who dares to defend George W. Bush. There are thoughtful and heartfelt tributes to living legends, including Bill Cosby (and an analysis of his famous pound cake speech, which promoted black responsibility, empowerment, and self-esteem), and remembrances of those who have passed, including Miriam Makeba, Isaac Hayes, Eartha Kitt, and Michael Jackson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSelected by guest editor Randall Kennedy, a leading intellectual and legal scholar, the wide-ranging pieces in \u003cb\u003eBest African American Essays 2010\u003c\/b\u003e comprise a thrilling collection that anyone who wishes to understand the meaning of the new America must own.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52403973128465,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52403973718289,"sku":"CIN0553806920G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780553806922.jpg?v=1758762894"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/best-african-american-essays-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
