African-Americans' analysis of, and interest in, foreign affairs
represents a rich and dynamic legacy, and this work provides a
cutting edge insight into this neglected aspect of US foreign
affairs. In addition to extending the parameters of US foreign
policy literature to include race and ethnicity, the book documents
case-specific analyses of the evolutionary development of the
African American foreign affairs network (AAFAN). Whilst the
examination of race in regard to the construction of US foreign
policy is significant, this book also provides a cross disciplinary
approach which utilises historical and political science methods to
paint a more realistic appraisal of US foreign policy. Including
analysis of original archival evidence, this theoretically informed
work seeks to transcend the standard mono-disciplinary approach
which overestimates the separation between domestic and foreign
affairs. The unique approach of this work will add an important
dimension to a newly emerging field and will be of interest to
scholars in ethnic and racial studies, American politics, US
foreign policy and US history.
The 2008 presidential election was celebrated around the world as a
seminal moment in U.S. political and racial history. White liberals
and other progressives framed the election through the prism of
change, while previously acknowledged demographic changes were
hastily heralded as the dawn of a "post-racial" America. However,
by 2011, much of the post-election idealism had dissipated in the
wake of an on-going economic and financial crisis, escalating wars
in Afghanistan and Libya, and the rise of the right-wing Tea Party
movement. By placing Obama in the historical context of U.S. race
relations, this volume interrogates the idealized and progressive
view of American society advanced by much of the mainstream
literature on Obama. Barack Obama and the Myth of a Post-Racial
America takes a careful look at the historical, cultural and
political dimensions of race in the United States, using an
interdisciplinary analysis that incorporates approaches from
history, political science, and sociology. Each chapter addresses
controversial issues such as whether Obama can be considered an
African-American president, whether his presidency actually
delivered the kind of deep-rooted changes that were initially
prophesised, and whether Obama has abandoned his core
African-American constituency in favour of projecting a
race-neutral approach designed to maintain centrist support.
Through cutting edge, critically informed, and cross-disciplinary
analyses, this collection directly addresses the dimensions of race
in American society through the lens of Obama's election and
presidency.
