Breaking Barriers To Electing African American Candidates in Majority-White Districts: An Oversample of African- Americans

小行星9412016 该项目继续代表一项研究进行研究，旨在查明和克服在白人占多数的地区选举非洲裔美国人国会候选人的障碍。 这项研究的主要部分集中在选民对非洲人的反应。 在白人占多数的地区，美国国会候选人和这个持续的项目提供了大约250名非洲裔美国人的采访，以增加已经在研究中的500人。 将两者结合起来提供了一个足够大的样本，可以分析非洲裔美国人的观点、关切、愿望和价值观，不仅仅是为了方便与白色美国人进行对比，而是为了分析非洲裔美国人本身的权利和细节。 因此，这项研究使调查人员能够不仅从白人的角度，而且从非洲裔美国人的角度来探讨种族问题。

9412016 Sniderman This project continues research on behalf of a study aimed at identifying and overcoming barriers to electing African American candidates for Congress in majority-white districts. The principal portion of the study concentrates on the reactions of voters to African American candidates for Congress in white-majority districts and this continuing project provides for interviews with approximately 250 African Americans to add to the 500 already in the study. Combining the two provides a sample of sufficient size to permit the analysis of the views, concerns, aspirations and values of African Americans, not simply as a convenient contrast with those of white Americans, but in their own right and in detail. The study thus enables the investigators to explore issues of race not only from the perspective of whites but from that of African Americans.
