9780813344232: Can We All Get Along?: Racial and Ethnic Minorities in American Politics (Dilemmas in American Politics)

Synopsis

In the fifth edition of this widely acclaimed book, Paula D. McClain and Joseph Stewart Jr. combine traditional elements of political science analysis with a fully updated survey of the political status of four major groups: blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. Two dilemmas shape the book: How do we as a nation reconcile a commitment to equality with persistent inequality and discrimination? And what can we do about it-from the perspective of ethnic and racial minorities as well as within the dominant culture? Thoroughly updated following the historic 2008 presidential election, this new edition provides a concise overview of minority politics in America.
