Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distinguishing itself from the mass of political biographies of Barack Obama, this first interdisciplinary study of Obama's Indonesian and Hawai'ian years examines their effect on his adult character, political identity, and global world-view. The first 18 years of President Obama's life, from his birth in 1961 to his departure for college in 1979, were spent in Hawai'i and Indonesia. These years fundamentally shaped the traits for which the adult Obama is noted—his protean identity, his nuanced appreciation of multiple views of the same object, his cosmopolitan breadth of view, and his self-rooted "outpost" patriotism. Barack Obama in Hawai'i and Indonesia: The Making of a Global President is the first study to examine, in fascinating detail, how his early years impacted this unique leader. Existing biographies of President Obama are primarily political treatments. Here, cross-cultural psychologist and marketing consultant Dinesh Sharma explores the connections between Obama's early upbringing and his adult views of civil society, secular Islam, and globalization. The book draws on the author's on-the-ground research and extensive first-hand interviews in Jakarta; Honolulu; New York; Washington, DC; and Chicago to evaluate the multicultural inputs to Obama's character and the ways in which they prepared him to meet the challenges of world leadership in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring a foreword by Tricia Rose and an Afterword by Cathy J. Cohen Barack Obama flipped the script on more than three decades of conventional wisdom when he openly embraced hip hop--often regarded as politically radioactive--in his presidential campaigns. Just as important was the extent to which hip hop artists and activists embraced him in return. This new relationship fundamentally altered the dynamics between popular culture, race, youth, and national politics. But what does this relationship look like now, and what will it look like in the decades to come? The Hip Hop & Obama Reader attempts to answer these questions by offering the first systematic analysis of hip hop and politics in the Obama era and beyond. Over the course of 14 chapters, leading scholars and activists offer new perspectives on hip hop's role in political mobilization, grassroots organizing, campaign branding, and voter turnout, as well as the ever-changing linguistic, cultural, racial, and gendered dimensions of hip hop in the U.S. and abroad. Inviting readers to reassess how Obama's presidency continues to be shaped by the voice of hip hop and, conversely, how hip hop music and politics have been shaped by Obama, The Hip Hop & Obama Reader critically examines hip hop's potential to effect social change in the 21st century. This volume is essential reading for scholars and fans of hip hop, as well as those interested in the shifting relationship between democracy and popular culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For West Papua and its people, the promise of sovereignty has never been realized, despite a long and fraught struggle for independence from Indonesia. In Laughing at Leviathan, Danilyn Rutherford examines this struggle through a series of interlocking essays that drive at the core meaning of sovereignty itself—how it is fueled, formed, and even thwarted by pivotal but often overlooked players: those that make up an audience. Whether these players are citizens, missionaries, competing governmental powers, nongovernmental organizations, or the international community at large, Rutherford shows how a complex interplay of various observers is key to the establishment and understanding of the sovereign nation-state. Drawing on a wide array of sources, from YouTube videos to Dutch propaganda to her own fieldwork observations, Rutherford draws the history of Indonesia, empire, and postcolonial nation-building into a powerful examination of performance and power. Ultimately she revises Thomas Hobbes, painting a picture of the Leviathan not as a coherent body but a fragmented one distributed across a wide range of both real and imagined spectators. In doing so, she offers an important new approach to the understanding of political struggle.

This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protagonist in this book is President Barack Obama. The antagonist is White America. Unlike many contemporary works of literature on race relations and politics, this book shuns the myopic views embedded in the ideological leanings of the right and left political spectrum. It underlines the disquietude of a wary White America that viewed a black presidency as a risky experiment. It explains how Republicans fiercely and relentlessly opposed Barack Obama and contemptuously plotted the downfall of his administration unsuccessfully. The book discusses the unique relationship of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, compares both personalities and underscores the social anxiety that propelled the election of Donald Trump to succeed Barack Obama. It also answers the question that many Americans have asked: Is President Donald Trump a racist? Here are some other intriguing excerpts from the book: "It is no secret that the United States has never been an "honest broker" when it comes to the actions of the Israeli government in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." "In rather negative terms, the "red line" syndrome in Syria had indelibly marked President Obama's foreign policy in the eyes of the world ..." "The fact is that more whites have enrolled in Obamacare than blacks and Latinos put together." "The irrational invasion of Iraq and subsequent dismantling of its once-formidable military by the United States shifted the military dynamic in the area." "In 2016, gun lobbyists gave $5,900,000 to Republicans and $106,000 to Democrats during the election cycle."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the obvious facial resemblances between President Obama and Pharaoh, Akhenaten that extends to Michelle Obama and Queen Tiye, Akhenaten's mother, there are other parallels in philosophy, policy and conflict with traditional religious authorities. The religious resistance to their rule is based on traditional plutocratic and xenophobic convictions. President Obama who has been very generous toward the religious right is contrasted to Pharaoh Akhenaten, who removed the traditional religion's state support, received comparable challenges to their rule. Akhenaten's religious revolution was abbre-viated by either death or a staged death whereby he would be resurrected as Moses. President Obama was elected by electoral and popular mandate but faces a recalcitrant majority in the House of Representatives intent on cutting social programs. Wealthy conservative billionaires fund the opposition to Obama while the religious right or so-called moral majority supplies most of the ground forces or activists. Without the full support of these believers” a their social agenda opposing contraceptives, abortion, same sex marriage, decriminalization of marijuana, cultural diversity, other races and ethnicity, other belief systems, etc., the government would reflect the more diverse demographic majority.This book based on numerous insights look beyond the surface and carefully examines the numerous similarities faced by the Obama's and Akhenaten's binary rule, particularly from the religious right. This examination looks into the possibility that cosmic consciousness of the dynastic ruler, and his wife/mother is alive among the Obama's. The binary rule's perspective and policies are untraditionally supportive of women's issues regarding love, beauty, grace, transparency and peace in contrast to opponent's reliance on the patriarchy. The karmas herein that were not completed during the Akhenaten dynasty seem to be in the process of fulfillment if Obama's presidency can overcome the challenges from the right. The fulfillment and preservation of life on this planet is at stake since their common opponents are motivated by a lust for power, influence, greed, narcissism, deceit, self-aggran-dizement, vanity, exclusion and opportunism at the expense of humanity, all living things and harmony with nature. First, the book looks at the reincarnation of peace, harmony and love of all things through cosmic consciousness and karma as displayed in our leaders during one of Egypt's most significant dynasties and its distant descen-dant, also arising from Dogon-Egyptian and Mu roots, overseeing the world's leading superpower. Both have traversed to their rule from lineage, and a view-of-the-world cultivated in Africa and pass through DNA memory and hyperspace to the present. This means that there is a spiritual entitlement through the unempirical 5th dimension of space time traversed through dreams, meditation, prayer and hypnosis. Respective theories and other mechanisms to travel through hyperspace are examined. Evidence supportive of cyclical linear view of time and history are presented. This book presents the exopolitical and exo-scientific argument that Homo sapiens are spawn of 22 extraterrestrial races and Homo erectus. According to the research presented, mankind's DNA coding constitutes of at least five percent that is extraterrestrial, may constitute our intellectual aptitude and control all the other genes similar to how the brain rules the entire body. This biological as well as extrinsic intervention by off-world beings, including the Grey, is highlighted. The Greys, one of the intervening extraterrestrials, are believed to be chrononauts from the future. A deductive search for the multiple purposes of intervention is made. Respectively, are they try to disable an undesirable future and direct humanity to a closer connection with the universal cosmic consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States has opened a new chapter in the country’s long and often tortured history of inter-racial and inter-ethnic relations. Many relished in the inauguration of the country’s first African American president — an event foreseen by another White House aspirant, Senator Robert Kennedy, four decades earlier. What could have only been categorized as a dream in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education was now a reality. Some dared to contemplate a post-racial America. Still, soon after Obama’s election a small but persistent faction questioned his eligibility to hold office; they insisted that Obama was foreign-born. Following the Civil Rights battles of the 20th century hate speech, at least in public, is no longer as free flowing as it had been. Perhaps xenophobia, in a land of immigrants, is the new rhetorical device to assail what which is non-white and hence un-American. Furthermore, recent debates about immigration and racial profiling in Arizona along with the battle over rewriting of history and civics textbooks in Texas suggest that a post-racial America is a long way off. What roles do race, ethnicity, ancestry, immigration status, locus of birth play in the public and private conversations that defy and reinforce existing conceptions of what it means to be American? This book exposes the changing and persistent notions of American identity in the age of Obama. Amílcar Antonio Barreto, Richard L. O’Bryant, and an outstanding line up of contributors examine Obama’s election and reelection as watershed phenomena that will be exploited by the president’s supporters and detractors to engage in different forms of narrating the American national saga. Despite the potential for major changes in rhetorical mythmaking, they question whether American society has changed substantively.

Book excerpt: Immediate, illuminating, and hopeful: this is the key set of talks given by leading Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward, PhD, on breaking America’s cycle of racial trauma. As an 11-year-old child, Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward was shot at by the police for playing baseball in the wrong spot. As an adult, he experienced the trauma of having his home firebombed by racists. At Plum Village Monastery in France—the home in exile of his teacher, Vietnamese peace activist and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh—Dr. Ward found a way to heal. In these short reflective essays, he offers his insights on the effects of racial constructs and answers the question: How do we free ourselves from our repeated cycles of anger, denial, bitterness, pain, fear, violence? “I am a drop in the ocean, but I’m also the ocean,” he says. “I’m a drop in America, but I’m also America. Every pain, every confusion, every good and every bad and ugly of America is in me. And as I transform myself and heal and take care of myself, I’m very conscious that I’m healing and transforming and taking care of America. I say this for American cynics, but this is also true globally. It’s for real.” Here, Ward looks at the causes and conditions that have led us to our current state and finds, hidden in the crisis, a profound opportunity to reinvent what it means to be a human being. This is an invitation to transform America’s racial karma.

Download or read book Barack Obama, The Aloha Zen President written by Michael Haas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword written by former presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, this book portrays President Barack Obama as a true child of Hawai'i and explains why he believes that America can achieve even more greatness by learning from the multicultural customs of the 50th state. Obama's aspiration to transform the United States using Hawai'i as his model has been a conspicuous theme in his books and speeches over the years. In them, he extols Hawai'i's multicultural ethos, describing how a normative, problem-solving mindset predicated on mutual respect and harmonious interchange is inculcated in the culture, politics, and society of the Islands. Indeed, this "Aloha Spirit" is imbued in Barack Obama, is part of what made him irresistibly charismatic as a candidate, and explains why voters in 2010 were baffled at his demeanor after he became the 44th President of the United States. This unique book examines Obama's decisions as an adult and as president and exposes how they are directly linked to the culture of Hawai'i and Obama's multicultural life as a child. The author and contributors also describe the ways in which native Hawaiians were dispossessed of their sovereignty and their land, how they steadfastly sought justice, and how their quest served as a model for Obama's mobilization of support for his candidacy.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Full of valuable insights to guide you.”—WILL SMITH “Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.”—TONY ROBBINS “This book will put you back in charge of your own life.”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

Book excerpt: America as we know it—wealthy, powerful, assertive—is not what Obama wants. He wants a smaller America, a poorer America, an America unable to exert its will, an America happy to be one power among many, an America in decline so that other nations might rise—all in the name of global fairness. To Obama, the hated “one percent” isn’t just wealthy Americas; it is America itself. In Obama’s view, America needs to be taken down a notch. That is the startling conclusion of bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza in Obama’s America. Building on his previous New York Times bestseller The Roots of Obama’s Rage—which Newt Gingrich called “Stunning…the most profound insight I have read in the last six years”—D’Souza shows how Obama’s goal to downsize America is in plain sight but ignored by everyone. D’Souza lays out what Obama plans to do in a second administration—a makeover of America so drastic that the “shining city on a hill” will become a shantytown in a rather dangerous global village. Arresting in its presentation and sobering in its conclusions, Obama’s America is essential reading for those who want to change America’s course before it’s too late.
