Encyclopedia of Minorities in American Politics [2 volumes] cover

The Encyclopedia is the only resource available that focuses exclusively on the expanding role of minorities in U.S. politics. Containing more than 2,000 entries, this two-volume set is divided into four distinct sections covering African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. It makes a broad range of information readily accessible, including historical and contemporary biographies, descriptions of major events, and coverage of important legal decisions and organizations.

"[T]he information is authoritative, current, and informative. The set constitutes a good one-stop place for students doing research on these four groups and deserves purchase for its usefulness." - The Gale Group
