Based on the 1,800 largest school districts in the United States
over a decade, The Politics of African-American Education documents
the status of African-American education and the major role that
partisanship plays. The book brings together the most comprehensive
database on minority education to date that centers around three
arguments. First, partisanship permeates African-American
education; it affects who is elected to the school board, the
racial composition of school administrators and teachers, and the
access of African-American students to quality education. Second,
African-American representation matters. The effectiveness of
African-American representation, however, is enhanced in Democratic
districts while representation in Republican districts has little
influence. Third, political structures matter, but they are not
determinative. Two different structures - election rules and the
independent school district - create the rules of the game in US
education politics and policy but do not limit others from using
those rules to change the outcome.
