E-book: We Choose You: How Black Voters Decide Which Candidates to Support

'Wamble offers an innovative perspective on the question of what drives candidate support in the Black community. He argues that these voters are most attracted to candidates who have signaled their sacrifice on behalf of collective Black interests. I found We Choose You to be fascinating, thorough, deeply theoretical, and ultimately persuasive.' Vincent L. Hutchings, Hanes Walton Jr. Collegiate Professor, The University of Michigan 'This book delves into how Black voters select candidates. Is it based primarily on the candidate's race? Wamble asserts that Black people consider other factors, favoring group prioritization over self-interest. We Choose You is an original, must-read treatment of Black politics.' Katherine Tate, Professor of Political Science, Brown University 'We Choose You is one of the most important books published in recent years on Black American political behavior. It offers a fresh new take on questions about the centrality of race to Black political judgments and deeply engages the complexity of descriptive representation in Black political decision making. It is well researched, well written, and insightful. It will soon be essential reading for anyone interested in understanding race and ethnic politics.' Ismail K. White, Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, Princeton University
