Description

This volume presents a detailed and in-depth examination of women of color political elites in the United States in varying levels of office and non-elected positions.

Through innovative data, novel theoretical frameworks, and compelling arguments, the chapters in this book explore how women of color political elites are changing, challenging, or upending the status quo in American politics. Beyond an additive approach of either race or gender the authors in this volume employ an intersectional lens to explore the complexities of governing, running for office, and adjudicating in a diversifying America.

This book will be of great value to upper-level students, researchers, and academics of political science interested in women's and gender studies, political leadership as well as race and ethnic studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy.
