Synopsis
The editor of the "New Yorker" and bestselling author of "King of the World" turns his attention to Barack Obama and a defining moment in American history. 'I'm here because somebody marched. I'm here because you all sacrificed for me. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I thank the Moses generation; but we've got to remember, now, that Joshua still had a job to do...There are still battles that need to be fought; some rivers that need to be crossed...The previous generation, the Moses generation, pointed the way. They took us 90 per cent of the way there. We still got that 10 per cent in order to cross over to the other side. So the question, I guess, that I have today is what's called of us in this Joshua generation? What do we do in order to fulfill that legacy; to fulfill the obligations and the debt that we owe to those who allowed us to be here today?' - [From Obama's speech in Selma, Alabama in March of 2007]. This book, Remnick's first full length work of non-fiction since the bestselling "King of the World", will tell the story of race in the history of America through the prism of the country's first mixed-race president; a man elected against the odds, symbol of hope for many, inheritor of a nation in the throes of a catastrophic crisis of identity.

The Bridge: the life and rise of Barack Obama
Seller: Book Express (NZ), Shannon, New Zealand
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. 656 pages. cover wornThrough extensive on-the-record interviews with friends and teachers, mentors and disparagers, family members and Obama himself, David Remnick demonstrates h ow a rootless, unaccomplished, and confused young man created himself first as a community organizer in Chicago, then as a Harvard Law School graduate, and fina lly as President of the United States 'By looking at Obama's political rise thro ugh the prism of our racial history, Remnick gives us the conflicting agendas of black politicians: the dilemmas of . heroes of the civil rights movement who are forced to reassess old loyalties and understand the priorties of a new enera tion of African-American leaders. The Bridge revisits the American drama of race , from slavery to civil rights, and makes clear how Obama's quest is not just hi s own but is emblematic of a nation where destiny is defined by indiiduals keen to imagine a future that is different from the reality of their current lives. - - from publisher description.
