The <I>Post-Racial States </I>issue asks whether we can say there is such a thing as a “post-racial” state, media or political environment. Does the idea of a “post-racial” state overlook the continuing occurrences of racial discrimination, the negation of Indigenous sovereignties, and the importance of anti-racism projects in exposing and challenging institutional and social racisms? Submissions need not be limited to Obama’s election. The issue is also interested in the relevance, if any, of this event to race relations in other cultural, political and geographical contexts.</SPAN></FONT></P>
