About This Book
For Ishmael Reed, Barack Obama, like Michelangelo's St. Anthony, is a tormented man, haunted by modern reincarnations of the demonic spirits used to break slaves. These were the "Nigger Breakers"âmen like Edward Covey, who was handed the job of breaking Frederick Douglass. "Isn't it ironic, " writes Reed: "A media that scolded the Jim Crow South in the 1960s now finds itself hosting the bird." In this collection, which includes several unpublished essays, Ishmael Reed brings to bear his grasp of the four-centuries-long African-American experience as he turns his penetrating gaze on Barack Obama's election and first year in powerâestablishing himself as the conscience of a country that was once moved by Martin Luther King's dream.
