Brazilians celebrate their country as a racial democracy; thus the US works as its nemesis. The rise of a black president to the office of the most prominent country in the global, political, and economic landscape led some analysts to postulate that the US was living in a post-racial era. President Obama's election also had a tremendous impact on the imaginary [sic] of the African Diaspora, and this volume investigates how the election of the first black US president complicates Brazilians' own racial discourses. By focusing on three events--Barack Obama's election in 2008, his visit to Brazil in March 2011, and the aftermath of the US espionage on the Brazilian government in 2013--Emanuelle K. F. Oliveira-Monte analyzes Barack Obama's shifting portrayals that confirm and challenge Brazilian racial conceptions projected upon his figure"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Obama, Barack $x Public opinion. 600 17 $a Obama, Barack. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00348231 651 0 $a Brazil $x Relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z Brazil. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Race relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign public opinion, Brazilian. 651 0 $a United States $x Press coverage $z Brazil. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Politics and government $y 2003- 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198921 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 $a Public opinion, Brazilian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354094 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 2003 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015647.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7B7B7A4840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
