Book Synopsis Rumor, Repression, and Racial Politics by : George Derek Musgrove
Download or read book Rumor, Repression, and Racial Politics written by George Derek Musgrove and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While historians have devoted an enormous amount of attention to documenting how African Americans gained access to formal politics in the mid-1960s, very few have scrutinized what happened next, and the small body of work that does consider the aftermath of the civil rights movement is almost entirely limited to the Black Power era. In Rumor, Repression, and Racial Politics, Derek Musgrove pushes much further, presenting a powerful new historical framework for understanding race and politics between 1965 and 1996. He argues that in order to make sense of this recent period, we need to examine the harassment of black elected officials - the ways black politicians were denied access to seats they'd won in elections or, after taking office, were targeted in corruption probes. Musgrove's aim is not to evaluate whether individual allegations of corruption had merit, but to establish what the pervasive harassment of black politicians has meant, politically and culturally, over the course of recent American history. It's a story that takes him from California to Michigan to Alabama, and along the way covers a fascinating range of topics: Watergate, the surveillance state, the power of conspiracy theories, the plunge in voter turnout, and even the strange political campaigns of Lyndon LaRouche"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Blacks in Power by : Leonard A. Cole
Download or read book Blacks in Power written by Leonard A. Cole and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the remarkable increase of blacks at all levels of political life and makes the first systematic comparison of black and white elected officials. While observers have disagreed as to whether black politicians act differently from their white counterparts, little empirical work has been done because until recently there were few blacks in office. Leonard A. Cole's analysis of elected officials in New Jersey has an important bearing on the controversy. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book Synopsis Black Elected Officials by : David A. Bositis
Download or read book Black Elected Officials written by David A. Bositis and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1998 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Elected Officials presents a statistical account of the trends and status of Black elected officials in the United States between 1993 and 1997. The study breaks down the data, which shows that over that period, the number of Black elected officials grew by eight percent, with the greatest increase lying in the field of education. Also clarified are the tremendous differences over the different regions of the country, since the majority of the increases took place in the Southern states, while the number of Black elected officials actually decreased in the west. The study notes the extraordinary rise in the ranks among women, and the surprising overall change in leadership among Blacks. It shows that of all mayors of big cities, seventy-one percent have been elected since 1993, and of all members in the Congressional Black Caucus, seventy percent have taken office since that time. The study explains the status of Black elected officials, and also presents the statistics in a series of tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of Gender and Elections offers a systematic, lively, multi-faceted account of the role of gender in the electoral process through the 2016 elections. This timely, yet enduring, volume strikes a balance between highlighting the most important development for women as voters and candidates in the 2016 elections and providing a more long-term, in-depth analysis of the ways in which gender has helped shape the contours and outcomes of electoral politics in the United States. Individual chapters demonstrate the importance of gender in understanding and interpreting presidential elections, presidential and vice-presidential candidacies, voter participation and turnout, voting choices, congressional elections, the political involvement of Latinas, the participation of African American women, the support of political parties and women's organizations, candidate communications with voters, and state elections. Without question, Gender and Elections is the most comprehensive, reliable, and trustworthy resource on the role of gender in electoral politics.
