Over the past fifteen years, a New Black Politics has swept black candidates into office and registered black voters in numbers unimaginable since the days of Reconstruction. Based on interviews with a representative sample of nearly 1,000 voting-age black Americans, Hope and Independence explores blacks' attitudes toward electoral and party politics and toward Jesse Jackson's first presidential bid. Viewed in the light of black political history, the survey reveals enduring themes of hope (for eventual inclusion in traditional politics, despite repeated disappointments) and independence (a strategy of operating outside conventional political institutions in order to achieve incorporation). The authors describe a black electorate that is less alienated than many have suggested. Blacks are more politically engaged than whites with comparable levels of education. And despite growing economic inequality in the black community, the authors find no serious class-based political cleavage. Underlying the widespread support for Jackson among blacks, a distinction emerges between "common fate" solidarity, which is pro-black, committed to internal criticism of the Democratic party, and conscious of commonality with other disadvantaged groups, and "exclusivist" solidarity, which is pro-black but also hostile to whites and less empathetic to other minorities. This second, more divisive type of solidarity expresses itself in the desire for a separate black party or a vote black strategy—but its proponents constitute a small minority of the black electorate and show surprisingly hopeful attitudes toward the Democratic party. Hope and Independence will be welcomed by readers concerned with opinion research, the sociology of race, and the psychology of group consciousness. By probing the attitudes of individual blacks in the context of a watershed campaign, this book also makes a vital contribution to our grasp of current electoral politics.

On December 12, 1963, people across Kenya joyfully celebrated independence from British colonial rule, anticipating a bright future of prosperity and social justice. As the nation approaches the fiftieth anniversary of its independence, however, the people's dream remains elusive. During its first five decades Kenya has experienced assassinations, riots, coup attempts, ethnic violence, and political corruption. The ranks of the disaffected, the unemployed, and the poor have multiplied. In this authoritative and insightful account of Kenya's history from 1963 to the present day, Daniel Branch sheds new light on the nation's struggles and the complicated causes behind them.Branch describes how Kenya constructed itself as a state and how ethnicity has proved a powerful force in national politics from the start, as have disorder and violence. He explores such divisive political issues as the needs of the landless poor, international relations with Britain and with the Cold War superpowers, and the direction of economic development. Tracing an escalation of government corruption over time, the author brings his discussion to the present, paying particular attention to the rigged election of 2007, the subsequent compromise government, and Kenya's prospects as a still-evolving independent state.

In this thought-provoking history, Gilbert illuminates how the fight for abolition and equality - not just for the independence of the few but for the freedom and self-government of the many - has been central to the American story from its inception."--Pub. desc.

Shhh. Don't tell the government, but this is an essay that liberals and progressives wouldn't want you to read. Jack Gunthridge explains why the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are still important today to all of its citizens. True hope comes from the freedoms granted to us in the founding of this country through our historical documents and the freedoms they grant us. Hope does not come from somebody that occupies the White House.Jack Gunthridge is fully aware of how the left in this country will receive this essay. Acknowledging that all is fair in love and war, Jack is willing to use his status as a person diagnosed with autism in his fight against liberals and progressives. They can attack the right, Republicans, conservatives, members of the Tea Party, and Christians. They, however, cannot attack a person with autism, even if the autistic person holds the same beliefs as a group they disagree with. The left might want to reconsider the presupposed brilliance of their ideology and infallibility if they can be so easily outsmarted by a mere person on the autism spectrum.Regardless, any negative reviews will be seen as a direct attack on a person on the autism spectrum. Jack Gunthridge has no problem using the politically correct weapons of the left against them. For the rest of America, I do support myself by working a full time job that pays me about $20,000 a year. During the summers, I am laid off and am eligible for unemployment benefits. Instead of receiving welfare, I would rather work for my money. Sales of this essay and my other works go to paying me as well as to paying taxes. Even with being on the autism spectrum, I don't consider myself disabled. If I receive charity, it will be from people deciding to support my business endeavors and not from the government taking money away from other people to give to me.This essay explains what it is to be an American and to enjoy the freedoms that come with being an American that we have forgotten today. I hope to rekindle the fire that some have lost in this country. My ancestors didn't come to this country, fight for the forming of this country, and fight in almost every war this country has been involved in to give me freedoms so that I can have others take them away today. Instead I plan on waking up the sleeping giant, the beacon of hope and freedom that America is. Others see it in us, but we have forgotten it about ourselves.

For too long we’ve lacked a compact, inexpensive, authoritative, and compulsively readable book that offers American readers a clear, informative, and inspiring narrative account of their country. Such a fresh retelling of the American story is especially needed today, to shape and deepen young Americans’ sense of the land they inhabit, help them to understand its roots and share in its memories, all the while equipping them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society The existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. Too often they reflect a fragmented outlook that fails to convey to American readers the grand trajectory of their own history. This state of affairs cannot continue for long without producing serious consequences. A great nation needs and deserves a great and coherent narrative, as an expression of its own self-understanding and its aspirations; and it needs to be able to convey that narrative to its young effectively. Of course, it goes without saying that such a narrative cannot be a fairy tale of the past. It will not be convincing if it is not truthful. But as Land of Hope brilliantly shows, there is no contradiction between a truthful account of the American past and an inspiring one. Readers of Land of Hope will find both in its pages.
