""The authors present an exhaustive survey of the literature, both theoretical and empirical, with extensive analytical and illuminating commentary."" ""This book stands apart from much of the work on minority legislators by combining sophisticated thinking about representation--""elite behavior, mass preferences, and connections between the two--""with a thorough understanding of institutional evolution and its effects. This is exceptional work, which I recommend enthusiastically."" -- Gary M. Segura, coeditor of Diversity in Democracy: Minority Representation in the United States

This book stands apart from much of the work on minority legislators by combining sophisticated thinking about representation-- elite behavior, mass preferences, and connections between the two-- with a thorough understanding of institutional evolution and its effects. This is exceptional work, which I recommend enthusiastically. -- Gary M. Segura, coeditor of Diversity in Democracy: Minority Representation in the United States
