Whose Black Politics?: Cases in Post-Racial Black Leadership - Paperback

by Andra Gillespie (Editor)

This volume uses multiple case studies to probe the implications of the emergence of a new vanguard of leaders for the future of African American politics. Editor Andra Gillespie establishes an original theoretical framework based on the interaction of three factors: black leaders' crossover appeal, their political ambition, and connections to the black establishment.
