The Community Matters: Finding the Source of the Radical Imagination of Black Women’s Political Ambition
Previous literature on women and political ambition has shown that the ambition of potential candidates is often shaped by career paths that develop the kinds of skills useful for navigating the political environment. These studies often did not include the experiences of Black women who chose to run for office. Utilizing data from interviews with Black women elected officials across the country I offer that the key to making the decision to run …

Dissecting Perceptions: Exploring the Determinants of Health‐Care Reform Preferences
Objective There is significant research regarding health‐care preferences in other nations and racial preference for health‐care providers. However, minimal research examines health‐care reform preferences in the United States. Therefore, this study aims to fill this void by demonstrating how a subterranean agenda, or attitudes toward race that manifest themselves into policy, at least partially drove public opinion regarding the Affordable Care …
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…
Racial Coalition Building in Local Elections: Elite Cues and Cross-Ethnic Voting
African Americans’ efforts to secure political equality were impacted by necessary coalitions with whites. Because of the tenuous nature of these relationships, political scientists have explored what seems a natural development: coalitions among blacks and Latinos. Much of the research on the potential for this coalition development has reported prevalent feelings of distrust and hostility. Andrea Benjamin’s Racial Coalition Building in Local El…
In Whom Do We Trust? Racial Trust in the Early Years of Barack Obama's Presidency
For many African Americans, Barack Obama's presidential victory in 2008 was a step toward a racially tolerant society. Yet for others, the attack on Obama's religious faith and citizenship status reflected long-standing racial divisions within the electorate. Using ordered probit analyses, our study focuses on racial trust and social capital in the early years of Obama's presidency. In assessing the relationship between Obama's domestic policies …
Remaking the Democratic Party: Lyndon B. Johnson as a Native-Son Presidential Candidate
A continuation of Hanes Walton Jr.'s work on Southern Democratic presidents, Remaking the Democratic Party analyzes the congressional and presidential elections of Lyndon Baines Johnson. This study builds upon the general theory of the native-son phenomenon to demonstrate that a Southern native-son can win the presidency without the localism evident in the elections of Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Although ridiculed by contemporaries for his ap…
African Americans and Obama’s Domestic Policy Agenda: A Closer Look at Deracialization, the Federal Stimulus Bill, and the Affordable Care Act
To assess President Obama's deracialized agenda-setting strategy, this article draws from two Gallup Organization polls and a 2010 survey of political behaviors and racial attitudes by the University of Arkansas Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society and the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute. We extend the debate about deracialization by focusing on two of Obama's most important policy initiatives: the American Recovery and Reinvestm…
Interpreting President Barack Obama's Facial Displays of Emotion: Revisiting the Dartmouth Group
Charismatic presidents like John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and now Barack Obama have been able to overcome stereotype‐based barriers to political power by connecting emotionally with viewers, particularly through their nonverbal skills. In this study we focus on the facial displays of emotion by President Obama and how participants interpret them. This study builds upon the pioneering research of the Dartmouth Group concerning response to displa…
