Race, Power, and Political Emergence in Memphis

Colleagues pit the “richness” of qualitative studies against the “sterility” of quantitative studies. This study about the former stereotypes helps reveal the inappropriateness of the latter stereotypes. The subtle nuances, the currents and countercurrents, that these authors painstakingly tease out with their careful examination of survey data and comparison to earlier survey data stand as an example of how well done quantitative research can produce—and may well be superior to qualitative studies in producing—a rich, highly textured picture of racial attitudes and their change over time in the Detroit metropolitan area. This volume will be valuable to scholars in the subfields of urban politics, racial/ethnic politics, and public opinion. Furthermore, it has implications for scholars of representation and political change. Given the building these scholars have already done on earlier foundations, there is promise of an additional accumulation of knowledge about an important topic—racial attitudes—so that those whose goal is to “speak truth to power” will have some truth to speak.
