To announce the forthcoming publication of Tariq Ali’s The Obama Syndrome in paperback, we are publishing a short extract here. Ali looks at an administration that changed the “mood music” but in most cases continued, while exacerbating, the national and foreign policies of his predecessor George Bush. After the mobilisation of so much hope for a real change in direction for mainstream American politics, are we now forced to accept that “the emperor must wear the emperor’s clothes”?
