How have African Americans voted over time? What types of candidates and issues have been effective in drawing people to vote? These are just two of the questions that The AFRICAN AMERICAN ELECTORATE: A STATISTICAL HISTORY attempts to answer by bringing together all of the extant, fugitive and recently discovered registration data on African-American voters from Colonial America to the present. This pioneering work also traces the history of the laws dealing with enfranchisement and disenfranchisement of African Americans and provides the election return data for African-American candidates in national and sub-national elections over this same time span.
