The Multiracial Promise

Bag om The Multiracial Promise

"Harold Washington was the first African American mayor of Chicago. Elected in 1983 by a multiracial coalition of voters, his victory was seen as a rebuke of the city's longstanding machine politics. Washington's Political Education Project, formed in 1984, helped organize this emerging Democratic coalition and brought him growing influence over national politics as the party sought a viable alternative to Reagan Republicanism. This book is less a biography than a narrative and analysis of Chicago's complicated role in late twentieth century American political history. Mantler places Harold Washington at the center of a complicated, multiracial political movement. The coalition politics associated with Washington's rise has lived on and is now regarded as the foundation of the contemporary Democratic Party electorate"--
