With contributions by several of the field's experts, this concise, provocative volume explores the evolution and current status of African American political action. Focusing on distinct types of activity (protest politics, grassroots movements, electoral politics, political office holding, it charts the unique development of African Americans as they progressed from enslavement by whites to empowerment as citizens to an ever-growing influence on elections.As the book vividly demonstrates, African Americans' efforts to act on their own political behalf didn't begin in the 1960s. Even while enslaved, black people courageously launched petitions, instigated strikes on plantations, and staged full-blown revolts, creating a legacy of activism that expanded through the abolition movement, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, the post-World War II civil rights movement, and into the present. African Americans and Political Participation is highly recommended as a basic introduction to the field, and as a complement to Barkerís African Americans and the American Political System. -American Reference Books Annual, 03/01/2004 "Morrison and five contributors offer an important resource, a volume in the Political Participation in America series. Their rich overview presents well-documented discussions of several aspects of African American political participation ... Recommended. All collections." -CHOICE, 02/01/2004
