Literature: history & criticism

Hardback. While many studies focus on Obama as a politician, few consider his literary merit.

Obama, in turn, emerges as a notable figure within a long tradition of American literary-political authorship. Editor(s): Purcell, Richard; Veggian, Henry. Num Pages: 214 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1KBB; 2AB; DSBH; DSK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 14. Weight in Grams: 410.
