Persons,editor of National Political Science Review \"A valuable addition to the growing literature on black and multiracial politics.\" - Paula D. McClain,coauthor of Can We All Get Along? \"Solid theory about the complicated relationships between blacks, whites and the new immigrants of `color' requires grounding in empirical studies, quantitative and qualitative. This volume contributes to theoretical understanding by using the black-white paradigm as a point of departure to study issues of identity, political incorporation and inter-ethnic conflict and cooperation. An important contribution.\" - Robert C.

By the twenty-first century, the population of Hispanics and Asians will increase significantly, while the black population is expected to remain relatively stable. Non-Hispanic Whites will decrease to just over half of the nation's population. How will the changing ethnic and racial composition of American society affect the long struggle for black political power and inclusion? To what extent will these racial and ethnic shifts affect the already tenuous nature of racial politics in American society?\u003cbr\u003e  Using the literature on black politics as an analytical springboard, \u003cb\u003eBlack and Multiracial Politics in America\u003c\/b\u003e brings together a broad demography of scholars from various racial and ethnic groups to assess how urban political institutions, political coalitions, group identity, media portrayal of minorities, racial consciousness, support for affirmative action policy, political behavior, partisanship, and other crucial issues are impacted by America's multiracial landscape.\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors include Dianne Pinderhughes, M.
