Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2007. Pp. 456. Cloth $89.50. Paper $32.95. Conventional political science in the United States is a historical and social science discourse located predominantly among highly educated white men, and produced by such men for each other. The anthology under review purports to evaluate and contest black exclusion from this academic discipline. Yet, this would-be progressive undertaking is largely truncated because most of the volume's eighteen essays are written within the shadow of dominant white American political science scholarship, and they scarcely challenge the discipline's received assumptions, theories, and analytical approaches. In general, readers will not find in this text new ideas, concepts, theories, approaches, or even new thinking about \"political thought.\" Rather, this is a set of essays whose authors essentially bow to the intellectual altars of liberal pluralism and political behavioralism. Rather than challenge or go beyond the limitations of scientism in conventional political studies, most of the authors embrace the \"scientific method\" of quantitative data analysis associated with the natural sciences as the model for empirical political science. Hence, little new knowledge about black politics emerges in this text. Written within the disciplinary power of behavioral political science, this volume is not a product of the provocative or powerful thinking necessary for the 21st century. Indeed, most of the essays easily could have been published ten or more years ago! The volume's title encourages the anticipation of particular viewpoints on the discipline of political science, specifically African American perspectives. Hence, part of my strategy in approaching the volume was to identify and understand the meaning of these various perspectives. I searched in vain. In the introduction the editor Wilbur Rich announces, \"This collection of essays is about political science as seen through the eyes of African American political scientists--their assessment of the subfields, their views about the quality of race-related research and their regrets about the omissions in the literature. The central theme is that race matters in politics not only nationally, but internationally.\" He notes that these \"omissions\" hinder an understanding of racial and ethnic conflict, and therefore require a variety of perspectives to contend with the \"danger of unconscious insularity in methodology and outlook.\" \"For this reason,\" Rich writes, \"we African American political scientists have a special responsibility to rethink the norms, canons, and directions of the discipline.\" Except for a few essays, however, the anthology falls far short of these goals. Indeed, the essays rarely break new ground, and the contributors generally accept the dominant methodology, norms, and canons of conventional political science.

Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 2007. Pp. 336. Cloth $49.95. Most commentators agree that the shift rightward in U.S. politics began in the late 1960s, when Richard Nixon's \"silent majority\" reacted against radical antiwar protesters, militant Black Power advocates, and urban violence and abandoned the Democratic Party. Nixon's victory in the 1968 presidential election, and his resounding defeat of George McGovern in 1972, signaled a Republican takeover of national politics that remained virtually undisturbed for thirty years. During that time Republicans won seven of ten presidential elections, and conservatives shaped domestic social and political issues from abortion rights and affirmative action to \"law and order\" policies. Why this shift from the New Deal liberal consensus to conservatism occurred has become a subject of growing interest for social and political historians. In 1996 Thomas Sugrue's The Origins of the Urban Crisis challenged the liberal consensus paradigm for the postwar period with a close examination of how Detroit's \"simmering politics of race\" constantly undermined and threatened to destroy the Democrats' tenuous interracial alliances. If Sugrue's thesis was borne out by research in other northern cities, then historians would have to confront the possibility that a liberal consensus was, in the words of historian Gary Gerstle, \"never anything more than a comforting mirage.\" James Wolfinger's engrossing social history of early 20th-century Philadelphia politics confirms many of Sugrue's claims. Philadelphia's Irish, Italian, Jewish, and African American populations are the book's main characters; but much of the book's drama centers on the conflicts and tensions that surrounded African Americans' increasing political clout in the new, New Deal-inspired Democratic Party, which increased African Americans' demands for increased access to housing and jobs. Wolfinger's study \"revamps the picture of liberalism transcendent\" and challenges conceptions of the state as a vehicle for positive social change. Adherents to the Congress of Industrial Organization's interracial industrial unionism, leftists who embraced the Communist Party's ethos of workers' interracial solidarity, black activists in the National Negro Congress and the NAACP, and progressive whites from various Jewish and Christian (including Quaker) groups did indeed champion an egalitarian approach to politics and democratic principles. But this occurred for only a brief moment such as during the fabled New Deal coalition that peaked with the presidential election of 1936, or in rare instances when black political assertions did not interfere with whites' lives, such as when African Americans advocated for federal funds to build public housing in predominantly black neighborhoods. Wolfinger argues that \"ordinary whites in the urban North imposed fundamental li","PeriodicalId":253318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African American History","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124641780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
