Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama: The Price and Promise of Citizenship

By Robert E Terrill and Robert E. Terrill

Robert E. Terrill argues that, in order to invent a robust manner of addressing one another as citizens, Americans must learn to draw on the delicate indignities of racial exclusion that have stained citizenship since its inception. In Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama, Terrill demonstrates how President Barack Obama's public address models such a discourse.
