The Iconic Obama, 2007-2009: Essays on Media Representations of the Candidate and the New President, co-edited by Nicholas A. Yanes and Derrias Carter, comes at just the right cultural moment, when scholars around the globe are speculating and theorizing about the representational differences and distinctions between Obama's first and second presidential campaigns. This book sets a starting point for anyone interested in those distinctions by capturing representational elements surrounding the 2008 campaign.
