Providing an expansive view of the making and meaning of African
American conservatism, this volume examines the phenomenon in four
spheres: the political realm, the academic world, the black church,
and grass-roots activism movements. In his analysis of their
activities in these realms, Louis Prisock examines the challenges
African American conservatives face as they operate within the
context of (largely white) conservatism. At the same time that
African American conservatives challenge the white conservative
movement's principle of "color blindness," they are accused of
being "racial mascots," or "tokens" from those outside of it.
Prisock unwinds the intricacies of black conservatives'
relationships to both the wider conservative movement and the
everyday life experiences of black Americans, showing that they are
as vulnerable to the "inescability of race" as any other individual
in a racialized America.
