The point of departure for Cobb’s analysis of the 2008 presidential election is the fact that Obama received 90% of the black vote in the primaries, while most of the African-American leaders supported Hillary Clinton. Author of To the Break of Dawn and the chair of the history department at Spelman, Cobb examines the growth of a new generation of black voters, one that came of age without first-hand experience of the Jim Crow era.
