This book examines US President Barack Obama's characterizations in
the Brazilian media, with a specific focus on political cartoons
and internet memes. Brazilians celebrate their country as a racial
democracy; thus the US works as its nemesis. The rise of a black
president to the office of the most prominent country in the
global, political, and economic landscape led some analysts to
postulate that the US was living in a post-racial era. President
Obama's election also had a tremendous impact on the imaginary of
the African Diaspora, and this volume investigates how the election
of the first black US president complicates Brazilians' own racial
discourses. By focusing on three events-Barack Obama's election in
2008, his visit to Brazil in March 2011, and the aftermath of the
US espionage on the Brazilian government in 2013-Emanuelle K. F.
Oliveira-Monte analyzes Barack Obama's shifting portrayals that
confirm and challenge Brazilian racial conceptions projected upon
his figure.
