Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. After eight years of George Bushs America, we are at a critical juncture in our nations history, when we can put forth a new and bolder kind of democracy. Just as the Civil Rights Movement opened the doors for blacks and other people of color, for women, for the LGBT community, the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency and the post-Bush society we now encounter opens new possibilities for our democracy. And it also prompts us to re-examine from a new perspective the old issues around poverty, class, gender, and race. In other words, can the progressive multicultural coalition Barack Obama put together to win the presidency be translated into a progressive multicultural movement?Open Letters to America is writer Kevin Powells celebration of the sudden, mass political engagement of America's youth, and Americans in general; his thoughts in the aftermath of Obama's magical and historic presidential campaign; and his open acknowledgment that if 21st-century America is going to be the great world democracy it promises to be, it will be Generations X and Y that make it so. After eight years of George Bush's America, we are at a critical juncture in our nation's history, when we can, as in the 1960s, put forth a new and bolder kind of democracy. Just as the Civil Rights Movement opened the doors for blacks and other people of color, for women, and for the LGBT community, the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency--and the post-Bush society we now encounter--opens new possibilities for our democracy. It also prompts us to re-examine from a new perspective the old issues of poverty, class, gender, and race. In other words, can the progressive multicultural coalition Barack Obama put together to win the presidency be translated into a progressive multicultural movement? Open Letters to America is writer Kevin Powell's celebration of the sudden, mass political engagement of America's youth, and Americans in general; his thoughts in the aftermath of Obama's magical and historic presidential campaign; and his open acknowledgment that if twenty-first century America is going to be the great world democracy it promises to be, it will be Generations X and Y that make it so. While other books will focus on the significance of this period in American history, few will come from the perspective of someone so engaged in the political and community process and popular culture on so many levels.
