Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama

The book "Between Barack and a Hard Place" by Tim Wise provides an in-depth analysis of how race is evolving in America, specifically during Obama's presidency.

The author explores the impact of Obama's rise on the race debate and how it has led to both hope and denial among white people.

The book sheds light on the ongoing institutional racism that still exists today, despite the success of individuals like Obama.

It also raises questions about whether black success is making it harder for whites to see the problem of racism or if it will challenge anti-black stereotypes and improve race relations.

This thought-provoking book offers a unique perspective on the complexities of race in America and provides valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
