על הספר
"Are majority black districts necessary to ensure the equitable representation of African Americans? Can blacks win elections from majority white districts? Dewey M. Clayton tackles questions such as these in his book. African Americans and the Politics of Congressional Redistricting. Starting with a history of the exclusion of blacks from the American political process. Clayton moves on to discuss a broad range of topics, including the conservative opposition to race-based districting, the census and reapportionment. North Carolina's redistricting in the 1990s, and the effects of incumbency and racially polarized voting. Analytical and informative, African Americans and the Politics of Congressional Redistricting is a valuable contribution to the existing scholarship on ethnic politics and will be of interest to anyone who believes that representation is at the core of democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
