"Barack Obama's election as the first African American president seemed to usher in
a new era, and he took office in 2009 with great expectations. But by his second term,
Republicans controlled Congress, and, after the 2016 presidential election, Obama's
legacy and the health of the Democratic Party itself appeared in doubt. In The Presidency
of Barack Obama, Julian Zelizer gathers leading American historians to put President
Obama and his administration into political and historical context. These writers
offer strikingly original assessments of the big issues that shaped the Obama years,
including the conservative backlash, race, the financial crisis, health care, crime,
drugs, counterterrorism, Iraq and Afghanistan, the environment, immigration, education,
gay rights, and urban policy. Together, these essays suggest that Obama's central
paradox is that, despite effective policymaking, he failed to receive credit for his
many achievements and wasn't a party builder. Provocatively, they ask why Obama didn't
unite Democrats and progressive activists to fight the conservative counter-tide as
it grew stronger"--Publisher's description
