This book examines the historical election of Barack Obama as the
first African-American president from the perspective of racial
relations. To trace the effect of time, Liu links Obama's
multiracial winning coalition to the two-party system and the
profound impact of racial changes since 1965. Contrary to the
popular momentum theory which emphasizes the early victories in
mainly two states, Iowa and New Hampshire, this book demonstrates
that state context matters. Obama's electoral performance in a
state is better explained by its level of racial tension, rather
than the emotional need of Americans to elect a black president.
