Race Rules: Electoral Politics in New Orleans, 1965-2006 examines
one of the innumerable ramifications of Hurricane Katrina: a
reversal in the decades-long process of racial transition, from
white dominant to black dominant. The electoral consequences of
such a racial change - in a city where race has historically played
a pronounced social, economic, and political role - are potentially
dramatic. In light of the 2006 New Orleans mayoral election, the
following emerges as a significant question: Does a change in the
population's racial composition mean a reversal in the political
status of African Americans in New Orleans? To address this
question, Liu and Vanderleeuw investigate racial voting patterns in
New Orleans' municipal elections over a forty year span from 1965
to 2006.Race Rules argues that as an enduring influence in urban
politics race manifests as either electoral conflict or electoral
accommodation, but not as acceptance of the political empowerment
of 'other race' members.
