Witness Barack Obama as you’ve never seen him before — as feminist, communist, fashion model, Jew, Muslim terrorist, Messiah, Superman, George Washington, President Roosevelt, Julius Caesar and Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
Obama: 101 Best Covers shows America’s ex-president in all these guises and more, on the front pages of the world’s leading print publications.
NEW BARACK PHOTO BIOGRAPHY
During his time in the White House, former US President Barack Obama amassed more newspaper and magazine covers than any other in history. This new post-presidency legacy book brings you the best 101 examples from around the world, in a special commemorative edition celebrating the startling event that was the 2008 election of America’s first African American leader. It presents a unique visual biography of the background and accomplishments of Obama’s historic presidential campaign.
OBAMA & NEW YORK TIMES
Featured titles within this definitive collection include Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, Ebony, Essence, Vibe, The Guardian and The New York Times, amongst others. Many of the covers featuring the 44th president were flattering. Obama never looked better than when he featured on the front of the New York Times or Rolling Stone. (See pages 40 and 69 of the Obama book).
DREAMS OF AUDACITY & HOPE
Many Barack Obama biography and legacy books have been written by different authors in recent years. His autobiography, Dreams Of My Father, as well as his memoir, The Audacity Of Hope, detail Obama’s life story better than any biography by another author could, while the photographic portraits offered in Obama books by Pete Souza and Peter Baker reveal the intimate access they had to the White House’s first African American president during his two administrations.
But this new legacy book enters the Barack Obama story in 2004 with his very first cover, for Black Enterprise, and then tracks Obama’s US presidential campaigns and elections of 2008 and 2012 through a further 100 amazing covers.
THE CALL OF HISTORY
Amongst the print media Barack Obama was a publishing sensation - a fact borne out by the volume of covers his portrait graced during his eight-year presidency. They range from graphic illustrations to photographs of Obama giving speeches while on the campaign trail, right through to intimate studio portraits. Many depict him as the chosen one, the Messiah even. Obama was the one who, out of the many, answered the call of history many thought would never come, while exercising power that no other African American leader before him has ever wielded on the political stage.
OBAMA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT IN WORDS
The text that accompanies the Obama covers book discusses the design, typography, photography and political context of each cover portrait, bringing to life this unique portrait of the world’s most famous politician.
