• Sommario/riassunto: 21st Century Urban Race Politics offers an understanding of minority representation in historically majority-Caucasian cities and draws on case studies in cities throughout the United States. The volume takes stock of what we know about the advantages and disadvantages of the ""racialized"" and ""deracialized"" approaches to governance and describes a third ""universalized interest"" approach.
