"What do you think of when you hear about an African American Republican? Are they
heroes fighting against the expectation that all blacks must vote democratic? Are
they Uncle Toms or sellouts, serving as traitors to their race? What is it really
like to be a black person in the Republican Party? Black Elephants in the Room considers
how race structures the political behavior of African American Republicans and discusses
the dynamic relationship between race and political behavior in the purported 'post-racial'
context of US politics. Drawing on vivid first-person accounts, the book sheds light
on the different ways black identity structures African Americans' membership in the
Republican Party. Moving past rhetoric and politics, we begin to see the everyday
people working to reconcile their commitment to black identity with their belief in
Republican principles. And at the end, we learn the importance of understanding both
the meanings African Americans attach to racial identity and the political contexts
in which those meanings are developed and expressed"--Provided by publisher
