The main focus of this volume is an exploration of the patterns of
competition for political power at the state and local levels in
American politics. This volume looks at institutionalized patterns
of black political power as they have evolved in the aftermath of
the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The editors argue that
enough time has elapsed to warrant a new look at the circumstances
in which black politics in America has played out. Chapters include
an examination of the ability of black candidates to win statewide
elections with crucial white support; an analysis of the impact of
local political organizations in enhancing the chances of black
candidates in winning local races; a look at the messages of black
pastors regarding solidarity with the Latino community; and an
investigation of the extent of the differences in the political
participatory styles of poor blacks and poor whites. The editors
note that changes have taken place as black American politics has
confronted new complexities. A works-in-progress section explains
how theories of racial violence can be used to analyze racial
incidents in the United States. Other essays include reflections on
blacks in Brazil and in urban American politics.
