- catalog abstract ""Are majority black districts necessary to ensure the equitable representation of African Americans? Can blacks win elections from majority white districts? Dewey M. Clayton tackles questions such as these in his book. African Americans and the Politics of Congressional Redistricting. Starting with a history of the exclusion of blacks from the American political process. Clayton moves on to discuss a broad range of topics, including the conservative opposition to race-based districting, the census and reapportionment.
