This volume explores the role race and racism played in the Texas
redistricting process and the creation and passage of the state's
Voter Identification Law in 2011. The author puts forth research
techniques designed to uncover racism and racist intentions even in
the face of denials by the public policy decision makers involved.
In addition to reviewing the redistricting history of the state,
this book also provides an analysis of court decisions concerning
the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, the Voting Rights Act, and
a thorough discussion of the Shelby County decision. The author
brings together scholarly research and the analysis of significant
Supreme Court decisions focusing on race to discuss Texas' election
policy process. The core of the book centers on two federal court
trials where both the state's congressional, house redistricting
efforts, and the Voter ID Bill were found to violate the Voting
Rights Act. This is the first book that speaks specifically to the
effects of electoral politics and Latinos. The author develops new
ground in racial political studies calling for movement beyond the
'dual-race' theoretical models that have been used by both the
academy and the courts in looking at the effects of race on the
public policy process. The author concludes that the historically
tense race relations between Anglos and Latinos in Texas
unavoidably affected both the redistricting process and the
creation and design of the Voter ID Bill.
