Re: this.
It’s called The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, and here’s an excerpt of the description on Amazon:
Ifill argues that the Black political structure formed during the Civil Rights movement is giving way to a generation of men and women who are the direct beneficiaries of the struggles of the 1960s. She offers incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama, and also covers up-and-coming figures from across the nation.
Surely we agree that, regardless of Obama’s success in November, his campaign is an historic one for the nation. Writing a book about this topic doesn’t imply anything partisan on Ifill’s part. History is history, facts are facts.
On the other hand, I can sympathize: I got totally pissed once I realized that Gwen Ifill is a woman and that Sarah Palin is a woman. Should have gotten a hermaphrodite to moderate this thing.
