Summary
Barack Obama's presidential victory naturally led people to believe that the United States might finally be moving into a post-racial era. Obama's Race--and its eye-opening account of the role played by race in the election--paints a dramatically different picture. The authors argue that the 2008 election was more polarized by racial attitudes than any other presidential election on record--and perhaps more significantly, that there were two sides to this racialization: resentful opposition to and racially liberal support for Obama.
