Race Rules: Electoral Politics in New Orleans, 1965-2006 - Paperback

by Baodong Liu (Author), James M. Vanderleeuw (Author)

Race Rules examines electoral politics over forty years, up to the present day. Liu and Vanderleeuw show that an understanding of New Orleans politics must start with the city's racial composition and must be viewed in terms of racial conflict and accommodation reflected in the electoral arena during the last four decades.
