Is the U.S. Ready for a Minority President ? (At Issue Series)

The arguments in this At Issue series entry are timely with so many teens tuned into the 2008 presidential race. This book’s articles are mostly focused on what is happening now (one essayist opines that the U.S. is more ready for a black president than a woman; another argues the reverse), but several writers also discuss voting history in the U.S. as well as the role of the media and the chances for other minority candidates. The timeliness of this compilation extends to its up-to-date bibliography. Grades 9-12. --Hazel Rochman
