Black Politics in Conservative America provides an historical overview of blacks' socioeconomic position in American society and in the postindustrial class structure, and promotes an agenda for change. The text begins with an examination of specific political arenas and reveals their inherently conservative functions, despite the efforts made within them for change. This introduction is followed by several chapters on alternatives that argue for the creation of a tightly organized political coalition of disinherited groups, employing a diversified and multi-front strategy from within and outside the existing system, with goals that include altering both the political and economic structures that have long helped to perpetuate blacks' inferior position. For African Americans, this is particularly vital if the vestiges of slavery are finally to be eradicated and justice attained. Maintaining an historical perspective within a political-economic orientation, Black Politics in Conservative America is appropriate for use as a core textbook or supplementary text in courses throughout the social sciences, including departments of political science, sociology, urban studies and African-American studies.

Black Politics in Conservative America examines the position of blacks in the United States in terms of history, politics, economics, and culture, and looks at the major political approaches available to African-American citizens. It explores the most important problems blacks face in twentieth-century America and the political structures within which they confront them. In this data-rich study, Pohlmann illuminates the institutionalized economic discrimination that functions to keep African Americans from moving ahead and delineates policy alternatives that offer hope and stimulate discussion. The completely updated second edition of Pohlmann's Black Politics in Conservative America was revised both methodologically and conceptually. The additional analysis and conclusions include coverage of liberation theory, postindustrialism, black conservatism, and partisan realignment.
