This dynamic and comprehensive text from nationally renowned
scholars continues to demonstrate the profound influence African
Americans have had-and continue to have-on American politics. Using
two interrelated themes-the idea of universal freedom and the
concept of minority-majority coalitions-the text demonstrates how
the presence of Africans in the United States affected the founding
of the Republic and its political institutions and processes. The
authors show that through the quest for their own freedom in the
United States, African Americans have universalized and expanded
the freedoms of all Americans. New to the Ninth Edition * Updated
sections on intersectionality, dealing with issues of race and
gender. * Updated section on African American music, to include the
role of Hip Hop. * Updated sections on mass media coverage of
African Americans and the African American celebrity impact on
politics, adding new mention of the CROWN Act and the politics of
Black hair. * Updated section on the "Black Lives Matter" movement,
adding a new section on the "Me Too" movement. * Updated sections
on African Americans in Congress, with a new mention of the Squad.
* Updated voting behavior through the 2020 elections, connecting
the Obama years with the new administration. * A comparison of the
2016 and 2020 presidential elections. * A discussion of the way in
which race contributes to the polarization of American politics in
the 2020 presidential campaign. * An analysis of the racial

policies of his administrations. * Updated chapter on state and
local politics, including a new section on state executive offices
