A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice

"A brilliant and complicated portrait of a brilliant and complicated president."--Salon

Michael Eric Dyson dives deep into the true meaning of Barack Obama's historic presidency and its effects on the changing landscape of race and blackness in America. How has race shaped Obama's identity, career, and presidency? What can we learn from his major race speeches about his approach to racial conflict and the black criticism it provokes?

Dyson was granted an exclusive interview with the president for this book, and Obama's own voice shines through. Along with interviews with Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, and others, this intimate access provides a unique depth to this engrossing analysis of the nation's first black president, and how race shapes and will shape our understanding of his achievements and failures alike.

"Readers will recognize Dyson's practiced flair for language and metaphor as he makes an important and layered argument about American political culture and the narrowness of presidential speech. . . The Black Presidency] might well be considered an interpretive miracle."--New York Times Book Review

"Immensely engaging, unflinchingly honest, and appropriately provocative, Michael Eric Dyson proves, once again, that he is without peer when it comes to contextualizing race in twenty-first-century America. . . a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand America's racial past, present, and future."--Gilbert King, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Devil in the Grove

Darker tint in natural lighting
Colorescience Mattifying Perfector Face Primer SPF 20 is a smooth and silky mattifying primer, but it's too dark for me. For some reason the photos on Amazon and the Colorscience website make the primer look lighter than it actually is. See the photos I included. This primer is good for someone with cool-toned light tan skin. Also, this primer is not fungal acne safe. Luckily the Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 is fungal acne safe and a better color match so I use that instead.

If you don't want to spend this much don't try it because you will love it!
This is a great product!! I am hooked on it even though it's expensive. It goes on so smooth and leaves your skin with a soft powdery feeling finish. I decided to buy it for my daughter to try too. She has oily acne prone skin. She's loves it. Also purchased the colorscience cream foundation for her and she wore it for the first time today. She came home from work and said 'Mom I really like this foundation! It's still looks matte and still covers! She was happy because she hasn't had success in finding that a foundation and has always battled shine and oiliness. Very impressive!

This is the perfect primer to wear under your makeup
This is the perfect primer to wear under your makeup. It has salicylic acid in it that helps for acne prone skin. Its a matte finish with a slight tint so if you just want to wear this without applying foundation for the day you can apply a light finishing powder over top and it works great for a quick fresh look.

Great daily sunscreen with lightweight feel
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this sunscreen daily and I really like it. It feels very light on the skin, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a greasy or heavy feeling. It also works well under makeup and does not cause breakouts. I feel my skin is well protected from the sun and it’s gentle enough for everyday use. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable sunscreen.
