While a great deal of research has been done about many aspects of
the death penalty, very little attention has been paid to the
movement organized against it. Coalition Building in the Anti-Death
Penalty Movement fills that gap with an empirical examination of
the external and internal factors that shape the role race plays in
the anti-death penalty movement. While the death rows across the
U.S. are overwhelmingly filled with racial minorities and the poor,
the ranks of the anti-death penalty movement are dominated by
white, middle-class professionals. The attention given to race
arises out of this racial distinction between death row inmates and
the activists who advocate for them. By conducting interviews with
white, black, and Latino anti-death penalty activists, this book
examines the influence of race on the mobilization of activists and
their approach toward abolition. The concepts of political
opportunity, mobilizing structures, and framing provided by the
political process model, are used to describe the complex manner in
which moral opposition to the death penalty is shaped by the racial
realities of the activists. Although racial tensions lie just below
the surface, they nonetheless create real obstacles for the
movement as it strives to build a racially diverse coalition of
activists aimed at death penalty abolition.
