FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Barack Obamas presidential victory naturally led people to believe that the United States might finally be moving into a post-racial era. Obamas Race—and its eye-opening account of the role played by race in the election—paints a dramatically different picture. The authors argue that the 2008 election was more polarized by racial attitudes than any other presidential election on record—and perhaps more significantly, that there were two sides to this racialization: resentful opposition to and racially liberal support for Obama. As Obamas campaign was given a boost in the primaries from racial liberals that extended well beyond that usually offered to ideologically similar white candidates, Hillary Clinton lost much of her longstanding support and instead became the preferred candidate of Democratic racial conservatives. Time and again, voters racial predispositions trumped their ideological preferences as John McCain—seldom described as conservative in matters of race—became the darling of racial conservatives from both parties. Hard-hitting and sure to be controversial, Obamas Race will be both praised and criticized—but certainly not ignored. Author Biography Michael Tesler is a graduate student in political science at the University of California, Los Angeles. David O. Sears is distinguished professor of psychology and political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of numerous books.

Evidence from His First Year in Office Appendix Notes References Index Review "Obamas Race is a timely, provocative, and important book that anyone with even a passing interest in politics simply must read. In their careful and detailed analysis, Tesler and Sears make a persuasive case for why Obamas election does not represent a fundamental sea change in how people think about politics. The results are striking, sobering, and deeply revealing." - Cindy D. Kam, Vanderbilt University" Details ISBN0226793834 Author David O.
