An earlier draft of this essay benefitted from the pedagogical insights and suggestions of Indiana University's Teaching Resources Center Director Joan Middendorf and editorial encouragement from Professor A.B. Assensoh of Indiana University. I am grateful to Indiana University's College of Arts and Sciences for funding my development of one of my minority politics courses and my colleagues in IU's political science department for encouraging me to develop and teach courses on minority politics.
