With his tenure as President of the United States now concluded it is time to take stock of his record at home and abroad. \u003ci\u003eThe Bitter Taste of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays that critically evaluate America's domestic landscape on the one hand, particularly new social movements, and the nation's foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, on the other. Stephen Eric Bronner engages a wide-ranging set of political and ideological conflicts that defined the \"Age of Obama,\" especially the most pressing international concerns that have developed in accord with an increasingly globalized world. Bronner illuminates not only well-known events like the American involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, the plight of the Palestinians, and the Arab Spring but also matters about which the general public knows little such as the national hopes of the Circassians, the complexities of Sudan, and the pitiful existence endured by the Coptic Christians of Cairo. Clearly written, lively in its style, interdisciplinary in conception and timely in its message, \u003ci\u003eThe Bitter Taste of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e will undoubtedly prove required reading for activists and academics alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Eric Bronner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438465483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438465487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Stephen Eric Bronner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096893169919,"sku":"9781438465487","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bitter-taste-of-hope-stephen-eric-bronner-9781438465487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
