About this product

Product Information

A collection of Barack Obama's greatest speeches, now including his farewell address, selected and introduced by columnist E.J. Dionne and MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid. "It is a political partisan's dream to see them [Obama's words] so finely gathered here." - Washington Post We Are the Change We Seek is a collection of Barack Obama's 27 greatest addresses: beginning with his 2002 speech opposing the Iraq War and closing with his emotional farewell address in Chicago in January 2017. As president, Obama's words had the power to move the country, and often the world, as few presidents before him. Whether acting as Commander in Chief or Consoler in Chief, Obama adopted a unique rhetorical style that could simultaneously speak to the national mood and change the course of public events. Obama's eloquence, both written and spoken, propelled him to national prominence and ultimately made it possible for the son of a Kenyan man and a white woman from Kansas to become the first black president of the United States. These speeches span Obama's career--from his time in state government through to the end of his tenure as president--and the issues most important to our time: war, inequality, race relations, gun violence and human rights. The book opens with an essay placing Obama's oratorical contributions within the flow of American history by E.J. Dionne Jr., columnist and author of Why The Right Went Wrong, and Joy Reid, the host of AM Joy on MSNBC and author of Fracture. Packaged handsomely with deckled page edges, We Are the Change We Seek is an important and special addition to every bookshelf.

Reviews
"In a new book, 'We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama,' we have been given the first partial, though still substantive, look at Obama's words, and it is a political partisan's dream to see them so finely gathered here." - Washington Post, "In a new book, 'We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama,' we have been given the first partial, though still substantive, look at Obama's words, and it is a political partisan's dream to see them so finely gathered here." - Washington Post "Here is a greatest hits package of Barack Obama's speeches . . . A thoughtfully chosen selection . . . The introduction is excellent . . . Lordy, we're going to miss him." -- The Guardian "Together, the speeches selected in We Are the Change We Seek lay out a vision of an open, pluralistic, just, and confident America. It is a vision that seems distant today. 'But,' as Obama might say, 'in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.'" -- Australian Book Review

An American Legacy
The thing about this President is that he always tried to be politically correct, never wanting to offend anyone...so in truth, what made him so spectacular was that his VOICE truly reflected the IDEALS of the American people and NOT the hidden racism that lies imprinted in the masses.
