Race, Ideology, and the Polarization of America in the Age of the Obama Presidency
Author: Blanchard Onanga Ndjila
Publisher: Ethics International Press
ISBN: 1804417084
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
The author contends that the 2008 election of President Barack Obama and his subsequent 2012 re-election were viewed as transformative events that should lead America into a post-modern, post-racial, and post-ideological America. That idealized vision of America turned out to be the incorrect. With the shift in demography, coupled with white American conservatives and Republicans’ fear of losing America to minorities, especially to Blacks, Obama’s presidency failed to transform America into a post-racial nation. The author argues that America became more, rather than less, racially and ideologically polarized, exacerbated by identity politics between Liberals and Conservatives, as well as between Democrats and Republicans. The incompatible and ultimately unreconcilable perception of America made no room for effective collaboration between Obama and Republicans, and has led to subsequent problems and tensions.

The Wrath of the Ancestors
Author: A. C. Jordan
Publisher: Jonathan Ball Publishers
ISBN: 9780868522289
Category : South African fiction (English)
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
A Xhosa prince reluctantly leaves the University College of Fort Hate and goes back to the land of his ancestors to take his place as king of the Mpondomise. The clash of his modem ideas and the traditional beliefs of his people mirrors the dash of the western way of life with African custom and tradition -- church-people versus traditionalists, school people versus 'red-ochre people', boarding school activities versus the inkundla or assembly at the royal place. The conclusion, that disaster can be averted only by the willingness of opposing forces to work together for mutual comprehension of the legitimate claims of tradition and modernity, gives a foretaste of the spirit that governed modern South Africa's political transformation. Ingqumbo Yeminyanya -- The Wrath of the Ancestors -- is a classic of Xhosa literature. A C Jordan has a keen eye for detail, a delightful sense of humour and a dramatic style. Literal translations of Xhosa images, idioms and proverbs transport readers to the Tsolo district and conjure up the memorable speeches of the Mpondomise counsellors.
