Title: The Problem of PostRacialism
Description: "President Obama's election in 2008 popularized the idea of a post-racial America in which only agency determines an individual's place in society. This reflects prevailing notions of color blindness and the end-of-racisim. In contrast, Vickerman argues that modern-day American race relations revolve around a racial progress/continuing racism framework. Complexity and contradictions, not the disappearance of race, describe the present American racial landscape"--Cover, page 4.
