Abstract
It is September 2009 and the start of a new semester. Students have gathered for the first meeting of my New Politics, New Possibilities class at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. We are seated around a table and are going through the syllabus. The readings include reports on hip-hop’s emergence in the 1970s; America’s conservative turn in the 1980s; and a recently-elected President Barack Obama’s agenda for the early years of the 21st century.
