Reviews'Like all countries, the United States is an imperfect union. But each union is imperfect in its own way; the U.S. shows a distinctive structure of liberal democratic aspirations overlaid on racial, ethnic, and class inequality. Coming from these authors, this book is our best guide to understanding how that conundrum plays out in politics, daily life, and policies. Students will gain invaluable insight by engaging with Race and Inequality in American Politics-and will learn ways to make our union less imperfect.' Jennifer Hochschild, Harvard University

SynopsisAuthored by three of the USA's most well-known scholars on American politics, this undergraduate textbook argues that racial considerations are today-and have always been since the nation's founding-central to understanding America's political system writ large. Drawing on decades of teaching experience and compelling original research, Hajnal, Hutchings, and Lee present an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of race's role in American democracy, spanning topics as wide-ranging as public opinion, voting behavior, media representation, criminal justice, social policy, and protest movements. The reader will examine the perspectives of multiple racial groups, learn how to bring empirical analysis to bear on deeply divided viewpoints, and debate solutions to the many problems of governance in an America that is polarized by party, riven by race, and divided by inequality. Chapters open with a vignette to introduce the core issues and conclude with discussion questions and annotated suggested readings. Full color photos, figures, and boxed features elaborate on and reinforce important themes. Instructor resources are available online., An undergraduate textbook offering a comprehensive, up-to-date, and critical examination of the role that race plays in American politics. It shows students how to bring empirical analysis to bear on deeply divided topics and makes a sustained argument that racial considerations are central to understanding America's political system writ large.
