Ишмаэль Рид: Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media: The Return of the Nigger Breakers

Angry and hilarious, this collection of satirical essays about Barack Obama confronts the racial tensions that have dogged the president during his campaign and first year in office. Some of the pieces include «Ma and Pa Clinton Flog Uppity Black Man,» «Crazy Rev. Wright,» and «Obama Scolds Black Fathers, Gets Bounce in Polls.» Previously unpublished material also addresses the controversies around Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Tiger Woods.
