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.
