| Abstract | Given the U.S.-led War on Terror and post-September 11, 2001 constructions of terrorism, we argue that the 2008 Obama primary campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination unfolded within a context that relegated him to the category of “brown(ed).” That is, while it is true that Senator Obama may be considered the first African American (or mixed race) presidential candidate of a major U.S. political party, we claim that the U.S. public was positioned--during the primary season--to view Obama as a “brown(ed),” in addition to a black, body. We articulate browned bodies as bodies that are: 1) perceived as a threat to both the U.S. government and the social fabric of the country, 2) rendered as being in opposition to the post-September 11, 2001 notion of Americanness, and 3) placed under strict rhetorical, legal, or physical containment. The process of browning places members of specific groups into a sort of social quarantine, where they are contained and held up for governmental and public scrutiny. The browning of Obama occurred systematically via questions regarding his patriotism, name, religion, and citizenship. The significance of these particular sorts of questions is that they establish the body of Obama as a terrorist threat against the United States. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
