Media Reviews
One of the most important books on racial politics to appear in the United States, Post-Racial or Most-Racial? presents cutting-edge analysis of racial attitudes and their effects on modern American politics. Tesler superbly sets out the extent to which heightened partisan and ideological polarization characterizing American politics in the last two decades is a deeply racialized division and argues persuasively that mass politics became more heavily influenced by racial considerations during Obama's presidency. Statistically rigorous, theoretically nuanced, and politically important, this is a major work of original scholarship. --Desmond King, University of Oxford
