Can We All Get Along?: Racial And Ethnic Minorities In American Politics

by Paula D. McClain, Joseph Stewart Jr.

Rodney King framed what might be called the enduring question of American politics from the Founding "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. Paula McClain and Joseph Stewart combine traditional elements of political science analysis—history, Constitutional theory, institutions, political behavior, and policy actors—with a thorough-going survey of the political status of four 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.

Super informative and interesting. I learned a ton of new information. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because some of the wording was confusing. Overall, it's a great read :)
