UNEVEN ROADS: An Introduction
to U.S. Racial and Ethnic Politics
Todd Shaw, University of South Carolina,
Columbia • Louis DeSipio, University of
California, Irvine • Dianne Pinderhughes,
University of Notre Dame • Toni-Michelle C.
Travis, George Mason University
This groundbreaking new volume, Uneven Roads:
An Introduction to U.S. Race and Ethnic Politics
explores when, why, and how race and ethnicity
matter in U.S. politics. Using the metaphor of a
road, with twists, turns, and dead ends, Uneven
Roads begins with an introduction to broad
political racialization and the roots of modern interpretations of race and ethnicity.
Historical chapters on each of the five groups identified in the U.S. Census—Native
American, African American, Latino, Asian American, and White—offer an engaging
narrative on race, prejudice, equal rights, and opportunity up to the 1960s.
Policy and social issue chapters carry the story up to the present day, providing
a wide lens on topics including voting rights, political representation, education
and criminal justice policies, and the immigrant experience. A final chapter on
intersectionality examines how groups go beyond the boundaries of race and
ethnicity to come together on matters of class, gender, and sexuality. No other book
on the market maps U.S. race and ethnic politics with the same breadth and scope.
CONTENTS PART I: INTRODUCTION / 1. Introduction: Race as an Uneven Road / PART II: HISTORICAL
FOUNDATION / 2. Native Americans: The Road from Majority to Minority, 1500s-1970s / 3. The
African American Political Journey, 1500s-1965 / 4. The Road toward Contemporary Latino Politics,
1500s-1970s / 5. Asian American Pathways toward Opportunity, 1800-1965 / 6. Whiteness and
the Shifting Roads of Immigrant America, 1780s-1960s / PART III: POLICY AND SOCIAL ISSUES / 7.

BATTLE FOR THE BIG SKY:
Representation and the Politics of
Place in the Race for the US
Senate
David C.W. Parker, Montana State University
Battle for the Big Sky delves into one of the few
competitive races of the 2012 election: the US
Senate campaign in Montana. Author David C.W.
Parker was granted exceptional access by both
candidates over the 21 months preceding the
election, allowing him to tell the story of the race
in rare and fascinating detail, while also exploring
the impact of Citizens United and so-called "dark money" on the campaign. The
Montana setting offers readers a view into the rising political influence of the West,
the importance of "place" in politics, and the impact of congressional styles and
constituent relationships on campaigns and elections. Parker skillfully weaves
political analysis into his narrative and places the race in the broader context of
congressional elections and the research literature.
