Racial Conflict in the United States

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Session Description

The mainstream of the US politics subfield is belatedly acknowledging the centrality of racial conflict to American politics. This roundtable brings together a range of scholars with different substantive concerns and who draw on different methods, but all of whom focus in some way on racial and ethnic politics in the United States. Panelists will discuss the future of America's racial and ethnic politics in contemporary, historical, and cross-national perspective.
