The Tie That Binds


Book Description

The author's rejected doctoral thesis hypothesis--that the black middle class has a weaker racial identity than other blacks, and hence, are more politically conservative-- stimulated this study. From her interviews of college students at three historically black and three majority-white institutions, Simpson (political science, U. of Washington, Seattle) unearthed attitudes on the black political leadership, racism in the not-so-new South, media images of blacks, and gender/racial identity tensions--pointing to a generation liberal on race issues and conservative on moral and cultural matters.
