Recenzii

"There will be abundant scholarly research and writing about the historic presidential election of 2008 but Baodong Liu's richly researched and persuasive argued The Election of Barack Obama: How He Won sets a high standard for such work. Liu concentrates on the voting mechanisms and campaign strategies which produced President Obama's electoral victory. Fully engaging with the extant scholarly literatures on race politics and on voting behavior, Liu argues that the Obama team successfully built a minimum winning coalition based in America's distinct group identities. Voters' decisions about whether to support or to oppose candidate Obama were based on group interests, themselves often race based. Obama's success, Liu contends, was his ability to build a winning racial coalition. This proposition is developed through meticulous analyses of primary campaigns in 2008 and then the general election in November. Liu skillfully expounds both the way in which successful coalitions are developed in the US's two party system and the practicalities of sub-national voting especially in key primaries. The result is an important contribution to scholarly understanding of the politics and voting of race in 2008, as Liu in particular challenges the alleged emergence of a post racial politics. The book will be enormously useful to students of race and politics in the United States, voting studies, and American political development." - Desmond King, University of Oxford
"This isa very well-done book that asks two different, but related questions - did momentum theory partially account for President Obama's win and did sequential primary elections make a difference in his ability to rack up primary victories. It provides an excellent discussion of the 2008 election and President Obama's electoral coalition. It will make a major contribution to our understanding of the dynamics of the 2008 and the fact that in the end 'race still mattered' in voting for President Obama." - Paula D. McClain, Professor of Political Science, Duke University
