An Introduction to African American Politics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This new text examines the relationship of African Americans to the American political system through both historical and contemporary analytical lenses. Gillespie and Nunnally examine the relationships of African Americans over time to American political institutions such as the presidency, Congress, the judiciary, political parties, media, and interest groups, accounting for the significance that race as a social construct has had on African Americans' political struggle for full citizenship, social and political inclusion, socioeconomic mobility and status, and equality in American democracy.
