By challenging us on where we have been and where we are on race relations, Garfield shows us the path forward to a more inclusive national community., Race in America swells with ironies and tensions. She combines her moving personal experiences in the Jim Crow South with a seasoned sociologist's insights on America's race evolution. Why is racial inequality shrinking in some areas but expanding in others? How is it that the same nation that incarcerates so many black men also elected Barack Obama as president? In this lucid and smart book that blends biography with history, Gail Garfield reveals how we got here and where we may be heading next., Gail Garfield's Tightrope is a compelling investigation of 'who we are and who we hope to become' in the Age of Obama. Race in America swells with ironies and tensions.

Tightrope challenges readers to reflect on their own steps on the racial tightrope and to ask basic questions about racial identity and progress in the United States. The halting, swaying missteps created by racial fears, hatred, and anger reveal the important imprints of separation and difference, and the bold, assured steps open up possibilities for inclusion, acceptance, and belonging. The divergent steps we have taken, teetering between regressive and progressive racial politics, between stifling continuity and meaningful change, have led us to where we now tread as a nation, in this new Age of Obama. Gail Garfield retraces our steps along this wavering racial tightrope, weaving in her own experiences, including her childhood in the Jim Crow south, with the nation's broader racial history to trace the remarkable shift in America's racial landscape. Our steps on this racial tightrope are a work in progress-a history in the making-that will largely influence who we are and who we hope to become as Americans. We, as a nation, have taken precarious steps to arrive at the age of Obama, while remaining steeped in contradictions. Tightrope: A Racial Journey to the Age of Obama explores race and politics in the United States, addressing racial inequalities and injustices that have led to a point in history where, seemingly improbably, Americans have elected (and re-elected) a black man as president.Use crazy bonus objects, like the Pillow or the Magic Wand, to gain an edge and get over the finishing line first.
