Contested Transformation constitutes the first comprehensive study
of racial and ethnic minorities holding elective office in the
United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Building on data from the Gender and Multicultural Leadership
(GMCL) National Database and Survey, it provides a baseline
portrait of Black, Latino, Asian American, and American Indian
elected officials - the women and men holding public office at
national, state, and local levels of government. Analysis reveals
commonalities and differences across race and gender groups on
their backgrounds, paths to public office, leadership roles, and
policy positions. Challenging mainstream political science theories
in their applicability to elected officials of color, the book
offers new understandings of the experiences of those holding
public office today. Gains in political leadership and influence by
people of color are transforming the American political landscape,
but they have occurred within a contested political context, one
where struggles for racial and gender equality continue.
