Contours of African American Politics chronicles the systematic
study of African American politics and its subsequent recognition
as an established field of scholarly inquiry. African American
politics emanates from the demands of the prolonged struggle for
black liberation and empowerment. Hence, the study of African
American politics has sought to track, codify, and analyze the
struggle that has been mounted, and to understand the historic and
changing political status of African Americans within American
society. This two-volume set presents a selection of scholarship on
African American politics as it appeared in The National Political
Science Review from its initial launch in 1989 to the spring of
2009. Represented are contributions from some of the leading
scholars of African American politics, who have helped to establish
and sustain the field. The volumes are organized around themes that
derive from the unfolding real-life drama of African American
politics and its subsequent scholarly treatment. The result is a
window into the political efforts that meld the historically
disparate strands of black political expressions into a
reconstructed and strategically nimble, electoral-based mass
mobilization necessary for optimizing the impact of the African
American vote. Sections in the volumes also chronicle the evolution
of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists as a
professional organization. The two volumes illuminate a pivotal
epoch in black political empowerment and provide a context for the
future of black politics.
