As America has become more racially diverse and economic inequality
has increased, American politics has also become more clearly
divided by race and less clearly divided by class. In this landmark
book, Zoltan L. Hajnal draws on sweeping data to assess the
political impact of the two most significant demographic trends of
last fifty years. Examining federal and local elections over many
decades, as well as policy, Hajnal shows that race more than class
or any other demographic factor shapes not only how Americans vote
but also who wins and who loses when the votes are counted and
policies are enacted. America has become a racial democracy, with
non-Whites and especially African Americans regularly on the losing
side. A close look at trends over time shows that these divisions
are worsening, yet also reveals that electing Democrats to office
can make democracy more even and ultimately reduce inequality in
well-being.
