Sinossi

In the fifth edition of this widely acclaimed book, Paula D. McClain and Joseph Stewart Jr. combine traditional elements of political science analysis with a fully updated survey of the political status of four major groups: blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. Two dilemmas shape the book: How do we as a nation reconcile a commitment to equality with persistent inequality and discrimination? And what can we do about it-from the perspective of ethnic and racial minorities as well as within the dominant culture? Thoroughly updated following the historic 2008 presidential election, this new edition provides a concise overview of minority politics in America.
