E-grāmata: Black Electoral Dichotomy: An Assessment of Black Republican Electoral Behavior and Political Attitudes during the 2016 Presidential Election

In The Black Electoral Dichotomy, Dr. Aaron L. Bell endeavors to shed light on a Black political phenomenon that often goes unanalyzed: the political attitudes and electoral behavior of Black Republicans during the rise of Donald Trump. Although Dr. Bell places emphasis on North Carolina Black Republicans, his reasoning is applicable to the national level. Readers of The Black Electoral Dichotomy will learn and appreciate the diversity that attends to Black political experience. -- Daryl Taiwo Harris, Howard University That there are other books on Black electoral behavior is hardly a matter of dispute, but this book on the subject matter, with a focus on Black Republicans' electoral behavior and political attitudes by Aaron L. Bell, is unequalled by any of the previous works. Indeed, the analysis of the book is novel and of very high quality. The Black Electoral Dichotomy: An Assessment of Black Republican Electoral Behavior and Political Attitudes during the 2016 Presidential Election is compelling and well-informed; it offers a healthy comparison of the critical balance sheets of the achievements and shortcomings of Black electoral behavior and individuals in dealing with the vexing questions of the past and the present. It is ground-breaking and theoretically and methodologically well grounded. In sum, the book is a lucid and stringent corrective to the lazy complacency of much conventional wisdom about the past and the present of Black political behavior and, thus, quite timely in this presidential election season during which the Black vote is well sought. -- Abdul Karim Bangura, American University Center for Global Peace The Black Electoral Dichotomy takes a thoughtful look at the diverse attitudes and behaviors of Black Republicans during the 2016 presidential election. Dr. Aaron Bell paints a vivid picture of a community whose political beliefs are complex and multifaceted, often defying easy labels. Through thorough research and engaging analysis, this book explores the unique perspectives of Black Republican voters on critical issues like economic inequality and social justice. It's a compelling contribution to the ongoing conversation about race and politics in America, offering fresh insights that encourage a deeper understanding of Black electoral dynamics. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to engage with the realities of political identity in todays world. -- Daphne M. Cooper, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
