Tokeshi provides a major contribution to our understanding of when and how racial attacks are effective and what candidates can do about them. The focus on African American women at the state level is new and important to our understanding of the link between race, gender, and state politics. -- Christopher Stout, author of <i>Bringing Race Back In: Black Politicians, Deracialization, and Voting Behavior in the Age of Obama</i>

Tokeshi provides a major contribution to our understanding of when and how racial attacks are effective and what candidates can do about them. The focus on African American women at the state level is new and important to our understanding of the link between race, gender, and state politics. -- Christopher Stout, author of <i>Bringing Race Back In: Black Politicians, Deracialization, and Voting Behavior in the Age of Obama</i> Tokehsi’s book is timely as we think about the future of descriptive representation in the United States. Asking if race is still a hurdle today for Black candidates, Tokeshi finds that Black candidates do not need to remain silent when attacked. This book is a must read for those interested in race and politics, campaigns, and racial attitudes. -- Andrea Benjamin, author of <i>Racial Coalition Building in Local Elections: Elite Cues and Cross-Ethnic Voting</i>
