520    A portrait of the historic Barack Obama era features 
       essays originally published in "The Atlantic," including 
       "Fear of a Black President" and "The Case for Reparations,
       " as well as new essays revisiting each year of the Obama 
       administration. 
520    ""We were eight years in power" was the lament of 
       Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American 
       experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return 
       of white supremacist rule in the South. In this sweeping 
       collection of new and selected essays, Ta-Nehisi Coates 
       explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time
       : the unprecedented election of a black president followed
       by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man 
       Coates argues is America's "first white president." But 
       the story of these present-day eight years is not just 
       about presidential politics. This book also examines the 
       new voices, ideas, and movements for justice that emerged 
       over this period--and the effects of the persistent shadow
       of our nation's old and unreconciled history. Coates 
       powerfully examines the events of the Obama era from his 
       intimate and revealing perspective--the point of view of a
       young writer who begins the journey in an unemployment 
       office in Harlem and ends it in the Oval Office, 
       interviewing a president. We Were Eight Years in Power 
       features Coates's iconic essays first published in The 
       Atlantic, including "Fear of a Black President," "The Case
       for Reparations," and "The Black Family in the Age of Mass
       Incarceration," along with eight fresh essays that revisit
       each year of the Obama administration through Coates's own
       experiences, observations, and intellectual development, 
       capped by a bracingly original assessment of the election 
       that fully illuminated the tragedy of the Obama era."--
