Black Mosaic - by Candis Watts Smith

Black Mosaic by Candis Watts Smith is a groundbreaking study that explores the effects of dynamic demographic change on Black identity and politics in America.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how expanding and rapidly changing demographics of Black communities call into question the very foundations of political identity that has united African Americans for generations.

Through face-to-face interviews with African Americans and Black immigrants, as well as nationally representative survey data, Smith examines shifts in attitudes towards race, identity, and politics among Black Americans.

The book fills a significant gap in the political science literature to date and offers a theoretically rich explanation for the boundaries of Black identity.

Black Mosaic is an essential reading for scholars of American politics and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Black racial identity within the context of greater ethnic diversity.
