About
Details
In this eloquently written and powerfully argued book, H. Samy Alim and Geneva Smitherman provide new insights about President Obama and the relationship between language and race in contemporary society. Throughout, they analyze several racially loaded, cultural-linguistic controversies involving the President--from his use of Black Language and his 'articulateness' to his 'Race Speech,' the so-called 'fist-bump,' and his relationship to Hip Hop Culture.
