“We were eight years in power” was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South. In this sweeping collection of new and selected essays, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time: the unprecedented election of a black president followed by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man Coates argues is America’s “first white president.”
But the story of these present-day eight years is not just about presidential politics. This book also examines the new voices, ideas, and movements for justice that emerged over this period—and the effects of the persistent, haunting shadow of our nation’s old and unreconciled history. Coates powerfully examines the events of the Obama era from his intimate and revealing perspective—the point of view of a young writer who begins the journey in an unemployment office in Harlem and ends it in the Oval Office, interviewing a president.
We Were Eight Years in Power features Coates’s iconic essays first published in The Atlantic, including “Fear of a Black President,” “The Case for Reparations,” and “The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” along with eight fresh essays that revisit each year of the Obama administration through Coates’s own experiences, observations, and intellectual development, capped by a bracingly original assessment of the election that fully illuminated the tragedy of the Obama era. We Were Eight Years in Power is a vital account of modern America, from one of the definitive voices of this historic moment.

Works Very Well
Size: 120g 8.5" x 11"
I am new to sublimation printing, and purchased this based on recommendations from multiple websites. I'm so glad I did! It transfers well onto several mediums, including shirts, totes, mousepads and cups. I've never had any jams or misfeeds, and the quality of the paper is high. I'll definitely purchase again!

Great product right out of the box
Size: 24-Inch
My kid had it up and running in seconds. The display is good with zero problems or defects. The size of it allows her to game without having to squint at a small screen. This is a great value and now im expected to get one for my other kid.

Beat bang for your buck. Includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. Also has speakers.
Size: 24-Inch
This is great 24" computer monitor that has a port for everyone. Includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. The monitor also includes speakers. The screen will tilt but is not height adjustable. The screen is easy to use and easy to setup. The color quality is fine and is good for a working environment. The monitor is also durable. No replacements yet and over 3 dozen purchased.

GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
Size: 24-Inch, Size: 24-Inch
A LITTLE BACKGROUND: I had already owned two small monitors, 24" each, however recently I was rearranging some furniture in the room, of which both monitors were sitting on top of, and during the moving around one of the monitors fell off. Well one of the monitors became unreliable and so I started my hunt for a new one to replace it.
NOW THE REVIEW: Right off the bat two things drew my interest in this 27" monitor. 1. The thin beveled edges for a larger usable screen area, and 2. Easier access to the buttons for configuring the monitor.(i.e. brightness, contrast, etc.). Coming in a VERY close second with #2 is the cost, $99.99($100). Looking at the cost of other monitors small than 27" was a lot more!
So, 3 inches more screen area(than my previous monitors) and the features mentioned above for only a hundred dollars? ...OK!
I had purchase two 32in VIEWSONIC monitors not too long ago for another computer, and I really like the monitors, HOWEVER, the one and only draw back with those two monitors is the location of the buttons for configuring the monitor is in a very bad location to easily access and use, on the backside of the monitor. I cannot see what button I am about to press!
Hold on!!! Wait a minute you might be saying right now... You might be wondering, if not asking, what about the screen resolution, what are things on the screen looking like??
Well that is a great question and my answer to that is, as it said, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...or in this case, $99.99! I have attach a picture with this review so see for yourself.
MY CONCLUSION: GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
I would like to add one more thing. After my wonderful experience with this Amazon Basics product, I am VERY impressed with this line/brand! This brand is as good as the "big name" brands(ViewSonic, Samsung, LG to name a few.) from what I have observed. I have taken a look to see if Amazon Basics makes a 32in monitor, so far I have not seen one in my searching.
Keep up the great job Amazon Basics, I have been so impressed that I have been searching your brand now whenever I am shopping computer accessories. I have two, Amazon Basics USB A 3.0 hubs I purchased before I bought the monitors.
