First published in 1991, Changing New York City Politics provides an important grounding for understanding where New York City politics is likely to go in the coming two years.
Three decades after New York Citys first Black mayor was elected and then defeated after only one term, the citys second Black mayor is facing challenges that in many ways are similar to those of his predecessor, yet different in others. Like David Dinkins, Mayor Eric Adams faces worries about crime and public disorder, recovery from an economic downturn, and criticism over his managerial style. It may be a quite different city today in terms of the makeup of its electorate less white, more diverse, but certainly no more Black and Adams may have a closer connection to the Police Department than Dinkins could manage but the challenges of constructing a multi-racial electoral and governing coalition in the face of skepticism from white voters remains.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers of political science, American history, and comparative politics.
