Cosmos

Obama's and Appiah's cosmopolitanism...

Kwame Anthony Appiah's excellent 2006 book of the same name was in my holiday reading stack, a perfect complement to James's Pluralistic Universe. Interesting to note that Appiah, like Obama the son of an African father and western mother (from England, not Kansas), had nothing to say about Obama three years ago. Another measure of how startlingly sudden was our pragmatist-in-chief's arrival onto the world scene.
