Spotlight: Still a House Divided: Race and Politics in Obama's America, Desmond S. King and Rogers M. Smith, Princeton University Press
From the Publisher: Why have American policies failed to reduce the racial inequalities still pervasive throughout the nation? Has President Obama defined new political approaches to race that might spur unity and progress? King and Smith examine the enduring divisions of American racial politics and how these conflicts have been shaped by distinct political alliances and their competing race policies. Issues such as housing, employment, criminal justice, multiracial census categories, immigration, voting in majority-minority districts, and school vouchers are explored in depth.
Desmond S. King is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of American Government at the University of Oxford. Rogers M. Smith is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
