Summary:	This book argues that the notion of the "post-racial" does not begin with the election of Barack Obama, nor will its significance end with the conclusion of his administration. The "post-racial" is an expression of the protean nature of white supremacy in America, and the articles collected here demonstrate the variations within this seemingly innocuous and salutary expression.
