Black Pride and Black Prejudice

"Not only does this provocative book promise to be a significant contribution to political science, but it has the potential to be so in other social sciences as well as in the broader world of political philosophy and political thought."--R. Michael Alvarez, California Institute of Technology, author of Hard Choices, Easy Answers

"Well-organized and well-written, this provocative book reflects the authors' now familiar virtues: careful but informally described expositions of their reasoning, imaginative experimental designs embedded within conventional surveys to test alternative hypotheses, and a strong but appropriately modulated argument that challenges much conventional wisdom in the field."--Jennifer Hochschild, Harvard University, author of Facing Up to the American Dream

Choice

An engrossing social scientific study that measures the meaning and modes of expression of black pride, the factors undergirding it, and the relationship—if any—between black racial solidarity and prejudice against nonblacks. . . . [W]ritten in lucid, accessible prose that never obscures but instead fully exposes the authors' methodology and interpretations to critical scrutiny. . . . This cogent, challenging work promises to stir much discussion among all who deal with its issues.
