More than just another book about Obama’s stunning presidential victory, The Breakthrough captures a pivotal moment in American history when a new group of emerging young African American politicians are forging a path to power. And in her new afterword, Ifill addresses other controversial issues from the impact of the election on racial perceptions to President Obama’s own take on the issue of race.
