Those familiar w/ Obama's own best-selling memoir or his campaign speeches know the touchstones & details that he chooses to emphasize, but now, from a writer whose gift for illuminating the historical significance of unfolding events is without peer, we have a portrait at once masterly & fresh, nuanced & unexpected, of a young man in search of himself & of a rising politician determined to become the 1st African-American president. "The Bridge" offers the most complete account yet of Obama's tragic father, a brilliant economist who abandoned his family & ended his life as a beaten man; of his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who had a child as a teenager & then built her career as an anthropologist living & studying in Indonesia; & of the succession of elite institutions that first exposed Obama to the social tensions & intellectual currents that would force him to imagine & fashion an identity for himself. Through extensive on-the-record interviews w/ friends & teachers, mentors & disparagers, family members & Obama himself, David Remnick allows us to see how a rootless, unaccomplished & confused young man created himself first as a community organizer in Chicago, an experience that not only shaped his urge to work in politics but gave him a home & community & that propelled him to Harvard Law School where his sense of a greater mission emerged. Deftly setting Obama's political career against the galvanizing intersection of race & politics in Chicago's history, Remnick shows us how that city's complex racial legacy would make Obama's forays into politics a source of controversy & bare-knuckle tactics: his clashes w/ older black politicians in the Illinois State Senate, his disastrous decision to challenge the former Black Panther Bobby Rush for Congress in 2000, the sex scandals that would decimate his more experienced opponents in the 2004 Senate race, & the story (from both sides) of his confrontation w/ his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. By looking at Obama's political rise through the prism of our racial history, Remnick gives us the conflicting agendas of black politicians: the dilemmas of men like Jesse Jackson, John Lewis & Joseph Lowery, heroes of the civil rights movement, who are forced to reassess old loyalties & understand the priorities of a new generation of African-American leaders. "The Bridge" revisits the American drama of race from slavery to civil rights, & makes clear how Obama's quest is not just his own but is emblematic of a nation where destiny is defined by individuals keen to imagine a different future.
