NEW
TO THIS EDITION

New focus on
the Obama campaign. With the election of the first
African-American president, no text on black politics would be

its effects on the country and the quest for universal freedom.

expanded chapters. Using the Obama primary and general
election campaigns as case studies, this fifth edition includes a
completely rewritten chapter on political parties and a
substantially expanded chapter on voting behavior and elections.
-
A fresh look
at race-gender relations. The 2008 Democratic primary race
between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama brought
race-gender tensions to the forefront of American politics, and this
new edition discusses the issue in the context of the quest for
universal freedom.

up-to-date on the newest developments related to race in American
politics, such as the Jena 6 protests and enforcement of civil
rights laws.
