Sinopsis

Barack Obama, Post-Racialism, and the New Politics of Triangulation examines black voters? relationship to the political process and to the first black president in a prematurely post-racial America. Using interviews with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, empirical data, news accounts, academic literature, and case law, Terry Smith argues that the price of black electoral success outside of traditional majority-minority settings has become the triangulation of the post-racial black politician?s African-American constituency. The book is broad-ranging in itsexamination of how black politics has become so susceptible to marginalization even in anation governed by its first black president.
