The Historical Context of Voter Photo-ID Laws
The issue before the U.S. Supreme Court in the Crawford case (Crawford v. Marion County Election Bd. 2008) was whether a law (Indiana Senate Enrolled Act No. 483) passed by the Indiana legislature requiring most voters to show a photo ID in order to cast a ballot violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Plaintiffs argued that it works an unfair hardship on many people who do not have the government-issued documents that count as a legitimate…

Controversies in Minority Voting: The Voting Rights Act in Perspective
Widely regarded as one of the most successful pieces of modern legislation, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has transformed the nature of minority participation and representation in the United States. But with success came controversy as some scholars claim the Act has outlived its usefulness or been subverted in its aim. This volume brings together leading scholars to offer a 25 year perspective on the consequences of the landmark act. The Fiftee…

Race and Class in Texas Politics
This major work on Texas politics explores the complicated relations between the politically disorganized Texas blue-collar class and the "rich and the fabulously rich," whose interests have been protected by "brilliant practitioners of horse trading, guile, the jovial but serious threat, the offer that can't be refused."
Slating Groups as Parties in a "Nonpartisan" Setting
Municipal reforms of this nature: nonpartisanship, smaller city councils, the replacement of mayors by city managers, may serve admirable technical purposes and in the long run be in the best interests of most groups in the community but they weaken the political ties of the disorganized and depressed groups in the community. And, in doing this, they serve a strong, but usually repressed, interest of the community power elite, whose focus is oste…

Ethnic Jokes: An Introduction to Race and Nationality
I begin a course in Race and Nationality with a skit depicting an angry confrontation between a white professor and a black student over a racial joke. I do so in order to create immediate interest in the question of how to interpret jokes. The students are asked to fill out a questionnaire dealing with matters raised in the skit. Then they are assigned a field project designed to measure the incidence of ethnic joking on campus and to collect ot…

Community Power Succession: Atlanta's Policy-Makers Revisited
Hunter returns to Atlanta and reveals how the power structure of the 1950s has changed during the 1960s and 1970s. By combining scholarly analysis, personal reminiscences, observation, and social prescription, he provides a companion work that is as important as its predecessor. He compares the earlier circles of top leadership with the new men of power and examines substantive social change in power-structure relations, including the roles playe…

Are the Poor Different?' A Comparison of Work Behavior and Attitudes among the Urban Poor and Nonpoor
Is poverty the result of a work orientation peculiar to the poor? To answer this, a secondary analysis of data obtained from a stratified sample of the Houston population was conducted. Ethnicity (black, Mexican American, Anglo) and sex were controlled, and age was standardized. The findings cast doubt on the “culture of poverty” hypothesis insofar as it pertains to work habits and attitudes. The assumption that the poor work less than the nonpoo…
