Notes
Khalilah L. Brown-Dean is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Quinnipiac University.
�Brown-Dean makes clear how notions of belonging and exclusion
constitute relentless forces in shaping policy, laws, and political
representation in the United States. The book�s lively interplay of
deep historical dives and compelling empirical evidence drives home
the power of boundary-making around race, gender, religion, and
other identities in US political life. A must-read for students of
politics.�
Janelle Wong, University of Maryland
�Brown-Dean situates today�s identity politics debates within a
much-needed legal and political historical context, revealing that
all politics are indeed about identity, and urging us to resist
simplistic frameworks and instead engage in tough but necessary
conversations about difference.�
Heath Fogg Davis, Temple University
�An exciting and comprehensive introduction to identity politics in
America today.�
Sharon Wright Austin, University of Florida
�This superb text is masterfully written and excellently
researched. Undergraduate students will find the material engaging
and thought-provoking. Professor Brown-Dean is skilled at making
the basic tenets of American government come alive in the 21st
century by foregrounding identity politics as central to
understanding American democracy.�
Nadia Brown, Purdue University
