Putnam—best-selling author of \u003cem\u003eBowling Alone\u003c\/em\u003e—and Manchester's Edward Fieldhouse offer a wonderfully readable account. Like \u003cem\u003eBowling Alone\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Age of Obama\u003c\/em\u003e mixes social scientific rigour with accessible charts and lively arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be enjoyed by politics, sociology, and geography students, as well as by anyone else with an interest in ethnic relations. Injustice, it turns out, still blights the lives of many UK and US minorities—particularly African Americans. Moreover, there are signs that the new diversity strains community life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet, in both countries, public opinion is running irreversibly in favour of tolerance. That augurs well for the future and suggests a British Obama cannot be ruled out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854895501548,"sku":"9780719082788","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780719082788.jpg?v=1759258567","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-age-of-obama-by-tom-clark-9780719082788","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
