Today there are four times that number. In Going Home, the dean of congressional studies, Richard F. Fenno, explores what representation has meant-and means today-to black voters and to the politicians they have elected to office. Fenno follows the careers of four black representatives-Louis Stokes, Barbara Jordan, Chaka Fattah, and Stephanie Tubbs Jones-from their home districts to the halls of the Capitol. He finds that while these politicians had different visions of how they should represent their districts (in part based on their individual preferences, and in part based on the history of black politics in America), they shared crucial organizational and symbolic connections to their constituents. These connections, which draw on a sense of "linked fates," are ones that only black representatives can provide to black constituents. His detailed portraits and incisive analyses will be important for anyone interested in the workings of Congress or in black politics. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican American legislators$vCase studies 610 $arepresentation, voters, black politicians, stephanie tubbs jones, chaka fattah, barbara jordan, louis stokes, district, capitol, legislators, politics, history, nonfiction, constituency, constituents, congress, communication, government, diversity, inclusion, influence, personal goals, experience, strategy, negotiation, connections, liberty hill baptist church, campaign, dewey street award program, party, protection, minority, race, racism, discrimination, bias, political science. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAfrican American legislators 676 $a328.73/092/396073 700 $aFenno$b Richard F.$f1926-$0255549 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791985703321 996 $aGoing home$93723237 997 $aUNINA
