Pareng Barack: Filipinos In Obama's America by Benjamin Pimente

This book is about Barack Obama's incredible march to the American presidency, and how Filipinos responded--often with excitement, sometimes with fear and dread -- to his stunning campaign and victory. This is also about the Filipino journey in America, how it has intersected, sometimes collided, with those of other communities, and how it has taken a dramatic turn as America enters a new era of anxiety and hope. "In the end there were more people who were ready to move on, to break ground, to reimagine the United States, to redefine America. It will be Obama's face and voice that my sons will see and hear on television and on the Internet over the next four years, maybe longer. It will be Pareng Barack who will guide the country forward...."
