Recenzii

"Paden's impressive archival research establishes and explains shifts in Civil Rights organizations' priorities during the critical years of the Civil Rights movement and the War on Poverty. She reinforces the value of integrating history, politics, and policy in contemporary scholarship-a perspective that has the capacity to reach a general readership beyond the political science community."-Perspectives on Politics "Catherine M. Paden takes a fresh look at an extremely important but understudied topic, examining the circumstances under which 'identity-based' advocacy organizations represent disadvantaged subpopulations of larger constituencies. Her findings are original, compelling, and provocative."-Dara Z. Strolovitch, University of Minnesota
