Volume 18: 21st Century Urban Race Politics: Representing Minorities as Universal Interests
Editor: Dr. Ravi K. Perry, Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Mississippi State University
ISBN: 9781781901847
Publication Date: April 2013

21st Century Urban Race Politics begins by offering a twenty-first-century understanding of minority representation in majority-Caucasian cities and draws on case studies in cities throughout the United States.  The aim of this volume is to take stock of what we know about the advantages and disadvantages of the “racialized” and “deracialized” approaches to governance and to describe a third approach, the “universalized interest approach.” The authors argue that minority elected officials, when given the power and resources to do so, should do more than represent constituent interests without acknowledging the representation owed to members of their ethnic group in urban communities. With case studies from across the country, in small, medium-sized, and large cities and mayors of various backgrounds, the volume provides a vivid account of how different minority mayors have handled minority representation in historically majority Caucasian cities and what lessons academics and politicians can learn from them.

“Readers will find an in depth political analysis of the mayors of [cities with] a unique history and economic niche. They were settled and grew because of an economic function. People born and raised in these cities can see the changes in their hometown. New residents are often only aware of the city current reputation and form. The visitor may only see the city downtown façade and miss the mosaic of the neighborhoods. This is why this collection is so valuable. This anthology will be useful to city watchers because it is one of the first serious reviews of political structures of these cities.”  Wilbur C. Rich, Professor of Political Science (Emeritus)
