Political Black Girl Magic explores black women's experiences as
mayors in American cities. The editor and contributors to this
comprehensive volume examine black female mayoral campaigns and
elections where race and gender are a factor-and where deracialized
campaigns have garnered candidate support from white as well as
Hispanic and Asian American voters. Chapters also consider how
Black female mayors govern, from discussions of their pursuit of
economic growth and how they use their power to enact positive
reforms to the challenges they face that inhibit their abilities to
cater to neglected communities. Case studies in this
interdisciplinary volume include female mayors in Atlanta,
Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Compton, and Washington, DC, among
other cities, along with discussion of each official's political
context. Covering mayors from the 1960s to the present, Political
Black Girl Magic identifies the most significant obstacles black
women have faced as mayors and mayoral candidates, and seeks to
understand how race, gender, or the combination of both affected
them. Contributors: Andrea Benjamin, Nadia E. Brown, Pearl K. Dowe,
