We are seeking two essays to complete our edited volume on race and post-racialism in the age of Obama. This anthology is intended to be one of the first scholarly volumes on race and the Obama phenomenon, with an original introduction written by George Lipsitz, as edited by G. Reginald Daniel and Hettie V. Williams. The volume will include essays by some of the nation’s leading scholars on the subject of race in the Obama era. Interdisciplinary in scope, the work currently contains submissions by historians, sociologists, political scientists, communications, Black Studies, and American Studies scholars. We specifically seek original [unpublished] essays on:

Race, Gender, and Election 2008
Black Politics in America (1968-2008)
