The Obama presidency represents a major milestone in black history and the struggle for political, economic, and cultural equality in the United States. But how, if at all, has the first black presidency helped move things forward for people of colour? Has it delivered the 'change we can believe in' and 'deepening of democracy' that communities of colour organised around?
To explore these questions, BBC journalist Joanne Griffith interviews black intellectuals, leaders, and activists and holds roundtable discussions in several communities around the country.
Redefining Black Power delves into these crucial conversations, offering insights into the impact of the Obama era and the ongoing journey towards equality and empowerment for people of colour.

Redefining Black Power explores the complexity and diversity of thought amongst America's black intellectuals and cultural icons in the wake of President Obama's election.

The book is noted for its engaging dialogue and rich context, offering a critical examination of the challenges faced by African-Americans during the Obama era.
