• Demographic characteristics of the members of the 118th Congress now includes sexual orientation and generational data for comparison.
• Race policies of former President Biden, reclassifying him as “antiracist.” An alternative method of ranking presidents that brings the views of Black experts to the conversation and includes a discussion of the record number of Black political appointments and policies implemented under Biden.
• Confirmation hearing of the first Black woman, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed the Supreme Court. New material on the Voting Rights Act, Affirmative Action, and the Pigford cases testing institutional racism.
• “Tennessee Three,” highlighting racism in the rare expulsion of two Black members of the Tennessee House of Representatives, and how Republican state-controlled legislatures are stunting the quest for universal freedom.
• Revisions using the Urban League’s State of Black America “Equality Index,” as a measure of material well-being in the African American community, to examine historic and systemic patterns in structural inequities as manifested in economics, health, education, social justice and civic engagement.
• Updated Textbook Media Integration Guide featuring lecture power points, chapter summaries, critical thinking questions, the profiles and “Faces and Voices”, and the links to the biographical material and videos.
American Politics and the African American Quest for Universal Freedom continues to offer a comprehensive, rigorous, and accessible understanding of how the presence of African Americans in the United States has profoundly influenced and influences American politics. It remains essential reading for all students of American Government, Black Politics and African American Studies, particularly those approaching the study of race and politics for the first time.
