Roediger -- Race Will Survive the Obama Phenomenon

So I happened to be checking my gmail account and came across the heading "Race Will Survive the Obama Phenomenon." I clicked on the email and saw that David R. Roediger, my favorite scholar in the whole wide world, sent a link to his recently published essay in the _Chronicle of Higher Education_. For those interested in what Roediger has to say about Obama, this essay will suffice: It's all but a word-for-word copy of Roediger's "Afterword," which, save a brief mention of Obama on p. 196, is the only real treatment of the Democratic presidential nominee in the monograph: http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i07/07b00601.htm
