This dynamic new text from two nationally renowned scholars is the first one to comprehensively examine the African American experience in American politics. Taking the standard topics that appear in any American government text and addressing them from the African American perspective, this text goes one step further than similar books by showing students the profound influence African Americans have had on American government and politics. This influence is demonstrated through the use of two interrelated themes: the idea of universal freedom and the concept of minority-majority coalitions. In the quest for their own freedom in the United States, African Americans have universalized, or expanded, the freedoms for all Americans in numerous coalitions with whites-minority inspired majority coalitions. An accessible text for all students, African American Politics includes high-interest boxed features that will further engage students in the text material.
