Contours of African American Politics chronicles the systematic
study of African American politics and its subsequent recognition
as an established field of scholarly inquiry. African American
politics emanates from the demands of the prolonged struggle for
black liberation and empowerment. Hence, the study of African
American politics has sought to track, codify, and analyze the
struggle that has been mounted, and to understand the historic and
changing political status of African Americans within American
society. The notion of a post-racial America is one that was
birthed by the election of Barack Obama as the first African
American president of the United States. However, another reality
is equally compelling: that for some time now, many African
American aspirants for elective office have run against
race-specific issues, putting individual desires to win office
above the conventionally defined collective interests of black
folk. Clearly, the Obama presidential election crystallized a
complexity of change that had been underway in America prior to his
election. Indeed, did the Obama election signal the end of black
politics? Does race remain a useful construct for framing the
collective interests of African Americans? Volume III of Contours
of African American Politics examines all of these questions in an
effort to understand the more poignant question of the future of
that which we have known as black politics.
