This collection investigates how religious identity and racial demographics influenced the 2008 United States presidential election and the subsequent emergence of a new democratic pluralism. Edited by Gastón Espinosa, the volume compiles research from various scholars who analyze voting patterns across diverse faith communities and ethnic groups. The contributors utilize empirical data and sociological frameworks to argue that Barack Obama's campaign successfully navigated complex intersections of belief and identity to reshape the American political landscape.
