Abstract:
This book is an examination of how experience under black mayors affects the racial attitudes of individual whites and the willingness of white voters to support black candidates. It uses public opinion surveys, data on voting patterns in large American cities, and case studies to show that black representation can profoundly alter white views and white votes
