Race is arguably the most profound and enduring cleavage in
American society and politics. This book examines the sources and
dynamics of the race cleavage in American society through a
detailed analysis of intergroup and intragroup differences at the
level of mass opinion. The ethclass theory, which examines the
intersection of ethnicity and class, is used to analyze interracial
differences in mass attitudes. This analysis yields three clusters
of opinion that distinguish African Americans from whites -
religiosity, interpersonal alienation, and political liberalism.
The authors then examine the intragroup sources of these opinion
differences among blacks in terms of class, gender, age, region,
and religion. While the authors demonstrate an embryonic trend of
more black middle class opinion agreement with whites, the book
confirms the ethclass character of the black experience whereby
race and race consciousness are still more significant than class
in shaping black attitudes. Given the growing class bifurcation in
black America and the continuing debate about its significance in
shaping black attitudes and behavior, this book offers a refreshing
new analysis of the homogeneity as well as heterogeneity of black
mass public opinion.
