罗德尼·金（Rodney King）提出了一个关于美国政治的永恒问题：我们都能和睦相处吗？在一个由移民建立的国家，被奴隶制的历史和遗产所困扰，自由、平等和社区问题继续挑战着美国人。在这本广受好评的第三版中，葆拉·麦克莱恩和约瑟夫·斯图尔特结合了政治科学分析的传统元素——历史、宪法理论、制度、政治行为和政策行为者——对四个主要群体的政治地位进行了彻底的调查：非洲裔美国人、拉美裔美国人、亚裔美国人和美洲印第安人。它们显示了这些群体在政治行动和经验方面的异同，并指出了在面对持续冲突时走向联盟、竞争和建立共识的道路。两大困境塑造了这本书：作为一个国家，我们如何调和对平等的承诺与持续存在的不平等和歧视？从少数民族和主流文化的角度来看，我们能做些什么呢？根据2000年全国大选和2000年初的人口普查数据进行了全面更新，第三版提供了美国少数民族政治的简明概述。
Rodney King framed an eternal question of American politics when he asked: Can we all get along? In a nation built by immigrants and bedeviled by the history and legacy of slavery, issues of liberty, equality, and community continue to challenge Americans. In this third edition of the widely acclaimed text, Paula McClain and Joseph Stewart combine traditional elements of political science analysis-history, Constitutional theory, institutions, political behavior, and policy actors-with a thoroughgoing survey of the political status of four major groups: African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. They show similarities and differences in these groups political action and experience, and point the way toward coalition, competition, and consensus building in the face of ongoing conflict. Two dilemmas shape the book: How do we as a nation reconcile a commitment to equ ality with persistent inequality and discrimination? And what can we do about it-from the perspective of ethnic and racial minorities as well as within the dominant culture? Thoroughly updated following the 2000 national elections and early 2000 Census data, this third edition provides a concise overview of minority politics in America.
