Winner of the 2003 Ralph J. Bunche Award "An engrossing social scientific study that measures the meaning and modes of expression of black pride, the factors undergirding it, and the relationship--if any--between black racial solidarity and prejudice against nonblacks... [W]ritten in lucid, accessible prose that never obscures but instead fully exposes the authors' methodology and interpretations to critical scrutiny... This cogent, challenging work promises to stir much discussion among all who deal with its issues."--Choice "This somewhat provocative book is well researched and is very well written. Its detailed analyses contribute to the extant knowledge in several fields of study, including race and ethnic politics, public opinion and political attitudes, political culture, identity politics, race relations, ethnic conflict, and political socialization. This study is a must read for serious students in each of these areas. Because of its innovative research design, the book will be of interest to scholars outside of these substantive areas as well."--Kerry L. Haynie, Perspectives on Politics
