How can we argue that "race" is political? What is "race"
if it is not "political?" This course will examine the
relationships between race and politics in the United
States, particularly the African American political
experience. The course will begin by considering various
perspectives on race and politics. We will then consider
the racial politics of elections, representation, leadership
and government institutions. We will also investigate how
"race" can mobilize people and communities. At the end of
the semester, we will investigate public policies aimed at
assisting the inner city poor.
