Peter F. Burns argues that conventional explanations, including the size of the minority electorate, the socioeconomic status of the citizenry, and the percentage of minority elected officials do not account for variations in white leaders' understanding of and receptiveness toward African American and Latino interests. Drawing upon interviews with more than 200 white and minority local leaders, and through analysis of local education and public safety policies, he finds that unconventional channels, namely neighborhood groups and community-based organizations, strongly influence the representation of minority interests. 410 0$aSUNY series on urban public policy. 410 0$aSUNY series in African American studies. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSuffrage 606 $aHispanic Americans$xSuffrage 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aProportional representation$zUnited States 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zUnited States 606 $aLocal government$zUnited States 606 $aSociology, Urban$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSuffrage. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xSuffrage. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 615 0$aProportional representation 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aLocal government 615 0$aSociology, Urban 676 $a324/.089/00973 700 $aBurns$b Peter F$01029767 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815604603321 996 $aElectoral politics is not enough$94029575 997 $aUNINA
