Abstract This research utilizes a valuable data source to explain voter registration and political knowledge by Native Americans, testing theories of the political engagement of minority populations. After taking account of socio-economic resources, American Indians exhibit lower rates of voter registration and political knowledge compared to Caucasians but similar to that of Hispanics. Relative to other racial groups, military service greatly enhances American Indian political knowledge and voter registration. This finding is especially noteworthy given American Indians' high rate of military service.

Keneshia N. Grant’s The Great Migration and the Democratic Party: Black Voters and the Realignment of American Politics in the 20th Century highlights the multifaceted political effects of the Great Migration, which was the migration of over six million African Americans from the rural South to their resettlement in the North during the 20th century. As Grant shows, for African Americans, their migration to the North was prompted by many motivations. But, their desire to become full American citizens by being able to vote influenced their political behavior, their political power in northern cities, their ability to elect Black elected officials at various levels of government, and, as northern politicians progressively realized the electoral power of the growing population of Black migrants, their evolution towards becoming major voters in the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition. The Great Migration and the Democratic Party contributes to the current literatures that analyze the development of political parties, American politics, and African American politics. Grant begins by asking “How did the Great Migration influence American politics in northern cities?” (p. 4) Grant’s central argument is that the northward migration enabled Blacks to participate in politics, altering northern politicians’ interactions with growing populations of Black voters; significantly, the migration also enabled Blacks to elect an increasing number of Black elected officials across the nation. By meticulously examining the effect of African American migrant voters upon mayoral elections in Chicago, Detroit, and NY City, Grant adds to the conventional narrative that many Blacks primarily converted from being Republicans to the Democratic Party during the New Deal era. As Grant explains, political scientists generally conceive of political change as occurring either in the electorate or in parties’ organizations. Grant focuses on the elite level, political parties and politicians, arguing that these actors tailor their strategies and policy positions to shape their

Abstract This essay posits that justice is the core value epitomizing our moment. Justice is violated when positive outcomes are undeserved, and the felt sense of injustice motivates a need for retribution. Because politics involves allocation (distribution and redistribution), deservingness is a core appraisal of “who gets what” and therefore justice is fundamental for politics. This is especially germane to race, ethnicity, and politics scholars. I present a few core tenets of justice theory, and argue that political science can take advantage of the moment to engage the concept of justice; especially as it relates to the study of racial attitudes and the identification of racial enablers—those ostensible non-racists who facilitate the status quo. Summarily, I propose that justice can unify debates over prejudice and politics, and advance our scholarly understanding of how well-intentioned people—regardless of their identities, or ideological or partisan labels—can facilitate racism, racial inequality, and injustice.

Abstract This study explores Latino perceptions of commonality and competition with African Americans across the country, focusing on the South. Using the Latino National Survey (LNS), we test the existing inter-group relation theories using an original measurement approach. With the creation of relative measures of commonality and competition of Latinos toward Blacks, we find that Latinos perceive co-ethnics as a greater source of competition than Blacks when our relative measure is used to interpret Latino perceptions of competition with African Americans. Moreover, our results suggest that Latinos in the South have similar perceptions of commonality to Blacks as Latinos more generally, across both approaches that measure perceptions of commonality. Most importantly, we find that when the relative competition measure is employed, Latinos who live in Southern states do in fact have higher perceptions of competition with Blacks than Latinos at large. These trends provide a valuable addition to the extant literature focused on inter-group relations by emphasizing that not only place and context matter, but also the way perceptions of competition and commonality are measured and operationalized.
