About This Book
In these pages, Rodney E. Hero regards race/ethnicity as an American "dilemma" whose importance transcends state boundaries, yet whose impact upon U.S. politics varies widely. He classifies states' social diversity patterns as homogenous, heterogeneous, or bifurcated, and demonstrates how these patterns influence political tendencies.
Social diversity, he finds, is strongly related not only to political processes, but also to specific policies and outcomes, such as educational policies, incarceration rates, and infant mortality. Hero's interpretation provides a new way of looking at state politics, one that causes us to broadly rethink U.S. politics from the stand-point of social diversity. Faces of Inequality will be of interest to all students of race and politics in contemporary America.
