The Anger Gap - How Race Shapes Emotion in Politics (Paperback)

Anger is a powerful mobilizing force in American politics on both
sides of the political aisle, but does it motivate all groups
equally? This book offers a new conceptualization of anger as a
political resource that mobilizes black and white Americans
differentially to exacerbate political inequality. Drawing on
survey data from the last forty years, experiments, and rhetoric
analysis, Phoenix finds that - from Reagan to Trump - black
Americans register significantly less anger than their white
counterparts and that anger (in contrast to pride) has a weaker
mobilizing effect on their political participation. The book
examines both the causes of this and the consequences. Pointing to
black Americans' tempered expectations of politics and the stigmas
associated with black anger, it shows how race and lived experience
moderate the emergence of emotions and their impact on behavior.
The book makes multiple theoretical contributions and offers
important practical insights for political strategy.
