To simply say the 2008 presidential election was historic seems
like an understatement. The election was unique in many ways beyond
the selection of the nation's first African-American as President.
The drama of the election was also heightened by the historic
nomination battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The
contest generated issues of race and gender throughout the
campaign, as did the candidacy of Sarah Palin as the Republican
Vice Presidential nominee. And John McCain brought his own unique
qualities to the campaign: Vietnam War hero, long-term
Congressional service record, feisty temperament, and the oldest
first-time presidential candidate to run for the Presidency. Thus,
issues of race, gender and age dominated the campaign both
implicitly and explicitly. The candidacies of Clinton, Obama,
McCain and Palin provided the context and dynamics for charges of
racism, sexism and ageism. Studies of Identity in the 2008
Presidential Campaign explores issues of identity politics and the
presidential election. Investigating all aspects of race, gender or
ageism, the contributors to this volume address the role and
function of 'identity politics' in political campaigns, and
highlight challenges of 'identity politics' in contemporary
political campaigns.
