Perry. 330 $a21st Century Urban Race Politics begins by offering a twenty-first-century understanding of minority representation in historically majority-Caucasian cities and draws on case studies in cities throughout the United States. The aim of this volume is to take stock of what we know about the advantages and disadvantages of the "racialized" and "deracialized" approaches to governance and to describe a third approach, the "universalized interest approach." The authors argue that minority elected officials, when given the power and resources to do so, often do more than represent constituent interests without acknowledging the representation of members of their racial/ethnic group in urban communities. Contributors describe how mayors of various backgrounds have sought to represent minority interests in electoral and governing contexts. In each case, the mayors are found to represent minority interests. In most cases, the representation of minority interests is accomplished without deemphasizing the significance of race and as the mayor maintains support from whites within their electoral and governing coalitions. With case studies from across the country, in medium-sized and large cities, and mayors of various backgrounds, the volume provides a vivid account of how different minority mayors have handled minority representation in historically majority Caucasian cities and what lessons academics and politicians can learn from them. 410 0$aResearch in race and ethnic relations ;$vv. 18. 606 $aSocial Science$xEthnic Studies$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$xDiscrimination & Race Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aEthnic minorities & multicultural studies$2bicssc 606 $aEthnic studies$2bicssc 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 7$aSocial Science$xEthnic Studies$xGeneral. 615 7$aSocial Science$xDiscrimination & Race Relations. 615 7$aSocial Science$xGeneral. 615 7$aEthnic minorities & multicultural studies. 615 7$aEthnic studies. 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 676 $a305.800973 701 $aPerry$b Ravi K$01491577 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779563403321 996 $a21st century urban race politics$93737271 997 $aUNINA
