While the concept of The Speech is interesting, the essays eventually become redundant. I guess there's only so much you can say about one speech, no matter how important it is. The same points were repeated from essay to essay. The role of Reverend Wright, the idea of a "post-racial" America, and the media's focus on throwing the grandmother "under the bus" were brought up again and again. ( )Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I read an advance reading copy. I found this book thoroughly enjoyable. It made me long for college and analytical studies of text and speeches made for composition classes. I think the various perspectives were interesting and the essayists made some good observations. However, I think to truly make this a complete analysis there should be more critical exploration of Obama's speech then what was offered. It felt a bit one sided in its critique which devalues its ability to truly be used in a scholastic application. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Very interesting perspectives, and a delight to see multiple reactions to one speech. As other reviewers have mentioned, it does get repetitive at times, but as a History major this is a book I will hang on to forever. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. The book, a collection of speeches, would make an excellent reference book or even textbook. Look at the race issue in America from the perspective of different writers asks more questions than it answers. Though interesting, it's overkill. Too much of the same thing. No matter what we think of Barack Obama, his speech, "A More Perfect Union", is one of the best of this generation. This book contains a collection of essays from various people concerning the speech given by (then)Senator Barack Obama on March 18th, 2008. The speech was very powerful and I enjoyed reading the essays. I think Obama has a talent for speaking publicly and it was interesting to see other views. The book is short and well worth the time it takes to read. I would recommend this book to everyone who cares about this country, whether an Obama supporter or not. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
After Senator Barack Obama delivered his celebrated speech, "A More Perfect Union," on March 18, 2008, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd noted that only Barack Obama "could alchemize a nuanced 40-minute speech on race into must-see YouTube viewing for 20-year-olds." Pundits established the speech's historical eminence with comparisons to Abraham Lincoln's "A House Divided" and Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream." The future president had addressed one of the biggest issues facing his campaign-and our country-with an eloquence and honesty rarely before heard on a national stage. The Speech brings together a distinguished lineup of writers and thinkers-among them Adam Mansbach, Alice Randall, Connie Schultz, and William Julius Wilson -in a multifaceted exploration of Obama's address. Their original essays examine every aspect of the speech-literary, political, social, and cultural-and are punctuated by Boston Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson's reportage on the issue of race in the now historic 2008 campaign. The Speech memorializes and gives full due to a speech that propelled Obama toward the White House, and prompted a nation to evaluate our imperfect but hopeful union.
