The research included in this volume examines the competing
pressures felt by black women as political agents in the domains of
elections, public policy, and social activism. Their challenges and
initiatives are explored in public spaces, institutional behaviors,
and public policy.
The volume features cutting-edge research exploring black
women's political engagement. The first group of contributors
interrogates the treatment of black women within the discipline of
political science. The second group examines the relationship
between cultural politics and policymaking. The third and final
group outlines the politics of race-gendered identity and black
feminist practice.
Black Women in Politics includes chapters on black leadership,
radical versus moderate politics in New Orleans, and the Shelby vs.
Holder Supreme Court decision. The editors introduce a new series
highlighting trends in black politics. Finally, the work notes the
passing of William (Nick) Nelson and Hanes Walton, Jr., prominent
members of the National Conference of Black Political
Scientists.
