Considers the impact of neo-racism during the Obama presidency.<\/em><\/p>\n

Neo-race Realities in the Obama Era<\/em> expands the discourse about Barack Obama\u2019s<\/a> two terms as president by reflecting upon the impact of neo-racism during his tenure. Continually in conversation with \u00c9tienne Balibar\u2019s<\/a> conceptualization of neo-racism<\/a> as being racism without race, the contributors examine how identities become the target of neo-racist discriminatory practices and policies in the United States<\/a>. Individual chapters explore how President Obama\u2019s multiple and intersecting identities beyond the racial binaries of Black and White were perceived, as well as how his presence impacted certain marginalized groups in our society as a result of his administration\u2019s policies. Evidencing the hegemonic complexity of neo-racism in the United States, the contributors illustrate how the mythic post-race society that many wished for on election night in 2008 was deferred, in order to return to the uncomfortable comfort zone of the way America used to be.<\/p>\n
