\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is postraciality just around the corner? How realistic are the often-heard pronouncements that mixed-race identity is leading the United States<\/a> to its postracial future? In his provocative analysis, Rainier Spencer illuminates the assumptions that multiracial ideology in fact shares with concepts of both white supremacy and antiblackness.<\/p>\n

Spencer links the mulatto<\/a> past with the mulatto present in order to plumb the contours of the nation\u2019s mulatto future. He argues cogently, and forcefully, that the deconstruction of race promised by the American Multiracial Identity Movement will remain an illusion of wishful thinking unless we truly address the racist baggage that serves tenaciously to conserve the present racial order.<\/strong><\/p>\n
