With the election of Barack Obama, the idea that American society
had become postracial-that is, race was no longer a main factor in
influencing and structuring people's lives-took hold in public
consciousness, increasingly accepted by many. The contributors to
Racism Postrace examine the concept of postrace and its powerful
history and allure, showing how proclamations of a postracial
society further normalize racism and obscure structural
antiblackness. They trace expressions of postrace over and through
a wide variety of cultural texts, events, and people, from sports
(LeBron James's move to Miami), music (Pharrell Williams's
"Happy"), and television (The Voice and HGTV) to public policy
debates, academic disputes, and technology industries. Outlining
how postrace ideologies confound struggles for racial justice and
equality, the contributors open up new critical avenues for
understanding the powerful cultural, discursive, and material
conditions that render postrace the racial project of our time.
