Barack Obama and the Myth of a Post-Racial America - Bog

By placing Obama in the historical context of U.S. race relations, this volume interrogates the idealized and progressive view of American society advanced by much of the mainstream literature on Obama. Barack Obama and the Myth of a Post-Racial America takes a careful look at the historical, cultural, and political dimensions of race in the United States, using an interdisciplinary analysis that incorporates approaches from history, political science, and sociology.
