Summary: Postracial America? argues that the notion of "postracial" does not begin with the election of Barack Obama, nor will it end with his administration. The "postracial" is an expression of the protean nature of white supremacy in America, and the articles collected here demonstrate the variations of this seemingly innocuous and salutary expression.
