Obama and the Biracial Factor: The Battle for a New American Majority
Cite
Abstract
Obama and the Biracial Factor is the first book to explore the significance of mixed-race identity as a key factor in the election of President Obama and examines the sociological and political relationship between race, power, and public policy in the United States with an emphasis on public discourse and ethnic representation in his election. The book introduces new key concepts such as mixed race hegemony and critical mixed race pedagogy to assert the salience of mixed-race identity in U.S. policy and the on-going impact of the media and popular culture on the development, implementation, and interpretation of government policy and ethnic relations in the U.S. and globally. A fundamental argument throughout is that changing U.S. population demographics coupled with emerging ideologies of multiraciality are leading to the emergence of a new, more diverse and inclusive American majority.
