"How is Barack Obama represented in popular culture? He is more than the United States' 44th president, but is also a lens through which we can examine politics, art, comics, and music in local, national, and international contexts. The essays in this collection focus on the buildup to the 2008 election and Obama's first year as president"--Provided by publisher. |
