Description
How have African Americans voted over time? What types of candidates and issues have been effective in drawing people to vote? These are just two of the questions that The African American Electorate answers by bringing together all of the extant, fugitive and recently discovered registration data on African-American voters from Colonial America to the present.
"This unique and original resource investigates the African American voting experience from colonial times
to the present...Overall, this source is a cross between a reference work and an in-depth academic analysis. With its hundreds of charts and footnotes, it has elements of both. The level of depth here makes this resource more appropriate for academic libraries."
"This work stands out by going beyond a strict linear examination of the African American electorate to present an overlapping analysis that reflects the historical ebbs and flows of participation and disenfranchisement. An outstanding contribution to research on the African American electorate."
Hanes Walton, Jr. is Professor of Political Science and senior research scientist in the Center for Political Studies at the University of Michigan. Sherman C. Puckett is a Ph.D. graduate of the University of Michigan in urban and regional planning. Donald R. Deskins, Jr. is a political geographer and Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Michigan.
