Description
Despite being heralded as the answer to racial conflict in the postcivil rights United States, the principal political effect of multiracialism is neither a challenge to the ideology of white supremacy nor a defiance of sexual racism. More accurately, Jared Sexton argues in Amalgamation Schemes, multiculturalism displaces both by evoking longstanding tenets of antiblackness and prescriptions for normative sexuality.
