Whose Black Politics?
Cases in Post-Racial Black Leadership
Edited by Andra Gillespie, Emory University, USA
This volume uses multiple case
studies to probe the
implications of the emergence
of a new vanguard of leaders
for the future of African
American politics. Editor Andra
Gillespie establishes an original
theoretical framework based on
the interaction of three factors:
black leaders’ crossover appeal,
their political ambition, and
connections to the black
establishment.

Political Institutions and
Lesbian and Gay Rights in
the united States and Canada
Miriam Smith, York University, Canada
Series: Routledge Studies in North American Politics
’This arresting book
historically interrogates the
relationship between
sexuality and social policy
development in the united
States and Canada. A must
read for scholars of sexuality
and of political
development, Smith’s study
helps us to see how conflict
over cultural issues can map
through institutional
developmental dynamics and
then how these dynamics can reformulate cultural
struggles. The book also provides a finely grained
explanation of the interplay among legalinstitutional
development, the discourse of rights,
and lesbian and gay movement politics. Political
Institutions and Lesbian and Gay Rights in the
United States and Canada is the definitive analysis
of the relationship between sexuality and political
development – and shows clearly why this
relationship must be understood by any serious
student of politics.’ - Julie Novkov, University at Albany,
SUNY, USA
’This work is a contribution to the fields of LGBT
studies, Canadian politics, and comparative politics
more generally. Summing up: Recommended.
General readers, upper-division undergraduate
students, graduate students, and research faculty.’

Framing Sarah Palin
Pitbulls, Puritans, and Politics
Linda Beail, Point Loma Nazarene University, USA
and Rhonda Kinney Longworth, Eastern Michigan
University, USA
Using the notion of “framing” as a way of
understanding political perception, the authors analyze
the narratives told by and about Sarah Palin in the 2008
election – from beauty queen, maverick, faithful
fundamentalist and post-feminist role model to pit bull
hockey mom, frontier woman, and political outsider.
They discuss where those frames are rooted historically
in popular and political culture, why they were selected,
and the ways that the frames resonated with the
electorate.

utz McKnight, University of Alabama, USA

political theory and cultural
studies this work argues for a
