Black Grief/White Grievance
Reconsidering Group Interests
This paper aims to explore attitudes toward immigration among two non-White groups, Asian Americans and Black Americans. For more than a decade, individuals from Asia have comprised the majority of immigrants entering the United States each year. Today, the majority of the Asian American U.S. population remains foreign-born. Yet using data collected from the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey and the 2016 National Asian American …

Perceptual Knots and Black Identity Politics
Since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, much ado has been made about how racial anxiety fueled White vote choice for Donald Trump. Far less empirical attention has been paid to whether the 2016 election cycle triggered black anxieties and if those anxieties led blacks to reevaluate their communities’ standing relative to Latinos and immigrants. Employing data from the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey, we examine the extent t…

Black Women in Politics
Policy symmetry and cross-racial linked fate in the early years of the Obama presidency
The United States is undergoing a significant demographic shift that will have critical implications for education, economics, and politics. Combined, Latinos and African Americans will become the majority population by 2050, although it is questionable if this demographic shift will improve their marginalized economic and social positions. It has been noted that due to perceived commonality the two groups are likely political allies. However, th…
Race and Nation
We contend that the boundaries and nature of national attachments are shaped by the position of one's group within America's racial order, with higher status yielding more racially exclusive forms of identity. We test our claims in the realm of xenophobia. Using an original survey of African Americans (n = 1,000) and Whites (n = 1,000), we assess national pride, nationalism, nativism, and racial identity, plus affect toward various immigrant grou…

Shana Redmond's Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora is a wholly original text. Meticulously researched, Redmond's text treats music as a constitutive part o
The curious case of Judge Aaron
In 1957, six white men were investigated, prosecuted, and convicted by their peers for the crime of mayhem against Judge Edward Aaron, a black handyman. On the one hand, it could be argued that this case stands as an important counterpoint to the prevailing narrative of southern white injustice. In this case, justice seemingly prevailed. I argue, however, the overarching concern was to preserve white supremacy not justice for Aaron. Due to increa…
Intimacy without Consent
At the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, I presented the harrowing story of Judge Edward Aaron. In 1957, Aaron was tortured and castrated at the hands of several members of the Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy in an attempt to send a threatening message to black Civil Rights activists. At the conclusion of the panel, a male audience member asked, “Was he [Judge Aaron] raped?” I was stunned by this question; to me, …
Moving from Victims to Victors
Black Americans and Latino Immigrants in a Southern City
Dramatic demographic changes are occurring in the United States, and some of the most dramatic changes are occurring in the South from Latino immigration. Latinos, by and large, are an entirely new population in the region. How are Black southerners reacting to this new population? Using survey data gathered from a southern location, this article explores several questions related to whether Blacks see these new residents as friendly neighbors or…
Racial Distancing in a Southern City
The United States is undergoing dramatic demographic change, primarily from immigration, and many of the new Latino immigrants are settling in the South. This paper examines hypotheses related to attitudes of Latino immigrants toward black Americans in a Southern city. The analyses are based on a survey of black, white, and Latino residents (n = 500). The results show, for the most part, Latino immigrants hold negative stereotypical views of blac…
Gender and Black Presidential Politics
Carol Moseley Braun's entrance into the 2003 Democratic presidential primaries brought Representative Shirley Chisholm's 1972 presidential run back into the spotlight. Numerous questions of interest immediately come to mind. Has the political environment for Black females interested in the presidency changed? Is a Black female candidate running nationally today in a better position than thirty years ago? Did Black Americans see a Black female as …
