Deracialization in the Deep South
The concept of deracialization is examined in an election in which all major candidates are black. Citizen characteristics and opinions expressed in a telephone survey are used to predict candidate preference. Findings indicate that race remains an important factor in electoral behavior, even when all candidates are black. The successful candidate, Maynard Jackson, drew support across race and class lines and may be said to have run a deracialize…
Electoral Change and Regime Maintenance
Maynard Jackson's return to the mayoralty of Atlanta in 1990 suggests the stability of an electoral coalition that rivals the well-documented durability of what Clarence Stone (1989) refers to as the governing regime in Atlanta. Jackson's initial two terms as mayor were followed by Andrew Young's two terms (the city charter prohibits more than two consecutive terms in office). Jackson's landslide victory in 1989 was described as more of a coronat…
Community Mobilization and Participation in the Zoning Process
Models used to explain levels of community participation often incorporate demographic and contextual factors. Among empirical findings, the most consistent have been that participation rates are negatively associated with community affluence, and that a sense of community identity increases participation. This article examines community participation and influence in zoning decisions before and after implementation of a neighborhood planning sys…
Ethnic Self-Help Organizations in Non-Barrio Settings

A survey of Hispanics in the Atlanta metropolitan ar…

This article examines the dynamics of two conflicting trends in contemporary urban communities in the United States: flight from the central city, and the politicization of efforts to revitalize and strengthen urban neighborhoods. Data from a 1976 survey of residents of the City of Atlanta, Georgia are used to identify residents’ discontent with city government and its performance and to construct indicators of the likelihood that discontented re…

Race, Representation, and Trust
This article addresses the general proposition that changes in leadership images precipitate changes in public opinion. Specifically, the purpose of this research is to determine if changes in the levels of political trust expressed by black and white city residents can be attributed to the election of a city's first black mayor. The attitudes of black and white residents of the City of Atlanta before and after the election of a black mayor are c…
Economy of Scale or Bureaucratic Entropy
This article examines the relationship between number of city employees and city popu lation in order to assess arguments advanced by proponents of metropolitan governmental reform. It is found that bureaucracy size increases faster than population, implying dis economies of scale. Bureaucratic entropy is suggested as an explanation for the relation ship between bureaucracy size and city population, and several alternative explanations are examin…
Citizen Response to Proposals for Metropolitan Governmental Integration
Past studies have attempted to identify the correlates of citizen response to proposals for governmental integration. The inconsistency of the findings of such research indicates the need to formulate a general conceptual model in order to assess the interrelationships among the variables previously considered and to estimate the adequacy of current efforts in order to explain response to governmental integration proposals. Such a general model i…
