"African American Politics is likely to be a very
useful volume for students and for general readers seeking a
context for understanding the Obama election and contemporary
racial politics. The book elegantly melds mainstream political
science ideas and topics with innovative themes, a sophisticated
historical consciousness, and continued demonstration of the ways
in which African American politics is, and is not, American
politics tout court."

"Kendra King's text captures the complex interaction between
African Americans and US political institutions. It provides a deep
understanding of the hopes and dreams of a population often left on
the outside of American democracy and how that experience is
critical to understanding American political institutions and
politics. Students of African American politics in particular and
American politics in general will be well served by reading this
text."
Mark Sawyer, University of California
