Informationen zum Autor Richard W. Leeman is professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is the author of several books, including The Teleological Discourse of Barack Obama (Lexington), and the editor/author of several more, including African-American Orators: A BioCritical Sourcebook and The Will of A People: A Critical Anthology of Great African American Speeches. Klappentext The Teleological Discourse of Barack Obama, by Richard Leeman, provides an in-depth analysis of President Barack Obama’s speeches and writings to explain the power of the 44th president's speaking. Highly regarded for his eloquent and inspiring rhetoric, Obama is often compared to Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. However, Leeman’s study shows that Obama’s teleological philosophy and discourse more closely resembles Ronald Reagan’s rhetoric.
