Since the election in 2008 of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the
United States there have been a plethora of books, films, and
articles about the role of race in the election of the first person
of color to the White House. None of these works though delves into
the intricacies of Mr. Obama's biracial background and what it
means. Obama and the Biracial Factor is the first book to explore
the significance of mixed-race identity as a key factor in the
election of President Obama and examines the sociological and
political relationship between race, power, and public policy in
the United States with an emphasis on public discourse and ethnic
representation in his election . Jolivette and his co-authors bring
biracial identity and multiraciality to forefront of our
understanding of racial projects since his election. Additionally
the authors assert the salience of mixed-race identity in U.S.
policy and the on-going impact of the media and popular culture on
the development, implementation, and interpretation of government
policy and ethnic relations in the U.S. and globally. Obama and the
Biracial Factor speaks to a wide array of academic disciplines
ranging from political science and public policy to sociology and
ethnic studies.
