Politics in Black and White Race and Power in Los Angeles

"I was fascinated by Sonenshein's long-awaited book. He has compiled a compelling analysis of the genesis and growth of Black political power in Los Angeles, and his predictions about future alliances are right on target."--Maxine Waters, U.S. House of Representatives "Politics in Black and Whiteis a very important contribution to the literature of racial and ethnic politics . . . It is the best account of the Bradley era that I know of . . . . People who have followed recent events in Los Angeles, both academically and nonacademically, will find the book informative and accessible."--Bruce E. Cain University of California, Berkeley "This book will become a standard work on the electoral politics of America's second largest city. It makes an argument about pragmatics of biracial coalition formation that will interest all those who study black politics or big city politics."--Juan Hull Mollenkopf, Graduate center of the City University of New YorkSonenshein, Raphael J. is the author of 'Politics in Black and White Race and Power in Los Angeles', published 1994 under ISBN 9780691025483 and ISBN 0691025487.
