The election of 2008 brought onto the national stage
complexitiesarising when the member of a minority group assumes
power over national political institutions. It also underlined the
limits placed on that power by the double accountability such a
figure faces. The question posed in this volume of the NPSR is:
Might the ascendancy of President Obama lead to a deracialization
of American politics or its opposite? The contributions to this
volume examine this question in a variety of ways. David Wilson and
Khalilah Brown-Dean analyze black attitudes towards the candidates
for the Democratic Party nomination in the presidential race of
2008. Lorenzo Morris asks how perceptions of race have defined
expectations of the African American ambassadors to the United
Nations. Horace Bartilow and Kihong Eom use a game theoretic
approach to examine US drug strategies in the Caribbean. A
works-in-progress section follows with personal reflections by
Michael C. Dawson and Andra Gillespe. They relate how personal
concerns and curiosities guide their research. A book review
section provides a discussion about works of interest to scholars
studying black politics.
