More about the book

The book explores the parallels between historical lynching of Black men and the political resistance faced by Barack Obama, the first Black President of the United States. Molefi Kete Asante argues that the tactics employed by the right-wing to undermine Obama's presidency mirror the violent oppression of the past. The author examines the immediate backlash from a predominantly white electorate during both the 2008 and 2012 elections, highlighting the ongoing struggle against racial and political prejudice in America.
