Condoleezza "Condi" Rice (born November 14, 1954) is an American diplomat, political scientist, civil servant, and professor who served as the 66th United States Secretary of State from 2005 to 2009 and as the 20th United States National Security Advisor from 2001 to 2005. Rice was the first female African-American Secretary of State and the first woman to serve as National Security Advisor. Rice pioneered the policy of Transformational Diplomacy directed toward expanding the number of democratic governments. In March 2009, Rice returned to Stanford University as a political science professor and the Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy. Rice's father, John, a minister and educator, instilled a love of sports and politics. Her mother, Angelena, a teacher, developed Condoleezza's passion for piano and exposed her to the fine arts. From both, Rice learned the value of faith in the face of hardship and the importance of giving back to the community. Her parents' fierce unwillingness to accept limits propelled her to the venerable halls of Stanford University, where she quickly through the ranks to become the university's second-in-command. An expert in Soviet and Eastern European affairs, she played a leading role in U.S. policy as the Iron Curtain fell and the Soviet Union disintegrated. Less than a decade later, at the apex of the hotly contested 2000 presidential election, she received the exciting news--just shortly before her father's death--that she would go on to the White House as the first female National Security Advisor. Derived from a Kirkus review: Former Secretary of State Rice presents a low-key, modest memoir about growing up an only child to highly educated teachers in segregated Birmingham. The author poignantly depicts a Southern black culture strongly centered on the schools and the churches. In the era of Jim Crow segregation, racial prejudice permeated every facet of society, even within black communities where lighter-skinned people were offered better opportunities. Rice's mother, Angelena, hailed from Birmingham and was college-educated and musical; her father, John, from Baton Rouge, was an ordained pastor, educational crusader and athletic director. The author was named after a melodious Italian musical term, con dolcezza ("with sweetness"), adjusted for American ears. Pushed at a very early age to achieve, she excelled at the piano, ice skating and the debating team. Early on she became keenly aware of the pernicious nature of segregation. By 1962, Birmingham had become a racially-charged, violent city. As John Rice's career shifted from preaching to education, the family moved to Denver, where Rice entered college at age 16. Casting about for a major, she was influenced by former Czech diplomat turned professor Josef Korbel and embarked on Soviet studies and political science. The author chronicles a dizzying academic trajectory from Notre Dame to Stanford, where she eventually became a tenured professor-clearly an affirmative-action hire, of which she is "a fierce defender"-and, later, provost. While completing various prestigious fellowships, she befriended Colin Powell, who mentored her, and Brent Scowcroft, who invited her to join the Bush I team at the National Security Council in 1989, a time of spectacular changes in the Soviet Union. Rice keeps the focus on the last years of her parents, ending with her father's death just at the election of Bush II. Provides explains why she became a Republican: "I would rather be ignored than patronized."., Crown Archetype, 2010, 3, Palgrave Macmillan, 2007-09-27. Hardcover.
