摘要2016年特朗普当选总统后，一夜之间出现了一个名副其实的家庭手工业，包括观点文章、博客和文章，其中大多数人似乎都同意，只有后真相才能解释一个种族主义、厌恶女性、新民族主义的经济精英成员如何赢得总统选举。相反，这篇文章的灵感来自芭芭拉·克里斯蒂安的禁令，我们质疑为什么一个给定的陈述，概念或理论现在是可以接受的，而以前不是。本着这种精神，我们批评后真相的批评家忽视了物质传统的意识形态批评有利于认识论解释理解后真相文学，然后我们提供了两个案例研究-美国的毒品政策和住房政策-说明种族健忘症要求声称，只有现在我们生活在一个后真相时代。
ABSTRACT In the aftermath of the 2016 election of President Trump, a veritable cottage industry of opinion pieces, blogs, and articles emerged overnight, most of which seemed to agree that only the post-truth could explain how a racist, misogynistic, neo-nationalist member of the economic elite could win a presidential election. This article, in contrast, is inspired by Barbara Christian’s injunction that we question why a given statement, concept, or theory is now acceptable when before it was not. Operating in this spirit, we critique post-truth critics for neglecting the material tradition of ideological criticism in favor of epistemological explanations for understanding post-truth literature; we then offer two case studies—American drug policy and housing policy—to illustrate the racial amnesia required for claiming that only now do we live in a post-truth era.
