Postracial America? An Interdisciplinary Study attempts to broaden the application of this idea by situating it in contexts that demonstrate how the idea of the postracial has been with America since its founding and will continue to be long after the Obama administration’s term ends. The chapters in this volume explore the idea of the postracial in the United States through a variety of critical lenses, including film studies; literature; aesthetics and conceptual thinking; politics; media representations; race in relation to gender, identity, and sexuality; and personal experiences. Through this diverse interdisciplinary exploration, this collection skeptically weighs the implications of holding up a postracial culture as an admirable goal for the United States.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 223mmItem Length: 151mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 354gBook Series: Griot Project Book SeriesRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
