Join us for a book talk on Sunday, November 8, at 4:00, in the Read and Relax area (first floor) of Swem Library. Alan Kennedy-Shaffer, a recent graduate of the William & Mary Law School, will discuss his book, The Obama Revolution. Drawing on his experience as a regional field director for Barack Obama and the Democratic Party in Virginia, the author includes both personal anecdotes of his campaign experiences and a scholarly analysis of (now) President Obama’s vision for the country.
