Where The Perfection Begins: Obama's Speech on Race

This edition of 96 pages is in a 6inch by 9inch format for general readers and is of immense and pertinent interest.

It provides insight not only to President Obama as a speechmaker but also to his approach to questions of race, to social and political conditions and problems and the way forward for the nation. The speech is distinguished by its adult and nuanced approach to the topics he discussed and by its respect for the intelligence of the voting public.

The speech was received mostly in silence by its original audience, as befitted its seriousness and complexity. Since then the debate on this issue has been fast and furious on the Internet and in chat rooms. Dr Kemnitz believes the speech will resonate and be remembered for many years to come.

You can read excerpts from this book on its website: Obama on race and view excerpts from a talk given by the author at Mt St Mary College, New York.
