Description: OBAMA & KENYA: Contested Histories and the Politics of Belonging - Matthew Carotenuto / Katherine Luongo (2016 Hardcover) Book Reviews:“In the US, Barack Obama is African; in Africa, he is Kenyan; and in Kenya, he is Luo. … Historians Carotenuto (St. Lawrence Univ.) and Luongo (Northeastern Univ.) emerge from the pages of this book as a dynamic academic duo as they glide through Kenya's colonial and postindependence periods.… This book also demonstrates that African studies is in good academic hands. Summing up: Recommended.”—CHOICE “This book … represents a laudable attempt to confront distorted and false depictions of Obama and the Kenyan past and present that have appeared since 2008 in scholarly and non-scholarly works … In a book that will be useful in American university classrooms and now even more among the general public as Obama is succeeded as chief executive by a long-time purveyor of the 'birther' myth, [Carotenuto and Luongo] effectively dismantle the many stereotypes and myths that have characterized writing about Obama and Kenya by right-wing ideologues outside Kenya.”—African Studies Review FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES!
