You will have to read and draft a 3 to 4-paged, double-spaced Analytical Essay on Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father (ISBN-13: 978-1400082773). This essay will require you to assess the course of Barack Obama’s evolving views on questions of race and identity through the lens of William E. Cross’s Nigresence Model (a Black Psychological theory that we will be discussing during Module 2). In writing this essay, you will argue what stage of the Nigresence Model Barack Obama was in at the end of the book (and perhaps what stage he is in now). Moreover, you will need to utilize specific details from Dreams From My Father to describe how Obama got to that stage, and/or to explain why any stages you think he did not get to or experience did not apply to his life. Or, if you strongly disagree with the validity of Cross’s Nigresence Model, you will show how the presentation that Obama provided of his life in the book shows the limitations of Cross’s Nigresence Model.
