Extract
Republicans and the Black Vote. By Michael K. Fauntroy. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner, 2007. 180p. $49.95.
Race, Republicans, and the Return of the Party of Lincoln. By Tasha S. Philpot. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2007. 211p. $65.00 cloth, $22.95 paper.
These two books examine important themes in one of the more dynamic aspects of American party coalitions: the complex relationship between African Americans and the Republican Party. Michael Fauntroy examines broadly the relationship's ebb and flow, emphasizing the policy, political, and rhetorical elements of the party's conflicted orientations toward the black electorate. Tasha Philpot develops a general theory of changes in party images, testing it in light of recent GOP efforts to appear more racially diverse.
