American Government in Black and White: Diversity and Democracy, 7th Edition, is a unique introduction to American government that uses racial and ethnic equality as its underlying theme. Through the course of teaching students the standard topics about the American governmental system and politics, authors Paula D. McClain and Steven C. Tauber address issues of inequality in major facets of government including the U.S. Constitution, key American political institutions and instruments of political behavior, and the making of public policy. Using the original voices of racial and ethnic actors in our nation's history, they show students how to measure and evaluate the quest for and importance of equality in America, from its founding up to today.

Paula D. McClain is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at Duke University and Dean of The Graduate School and Vice Provost for Graduate Education. She directs the American Political Science Association's Ralph Bunche Summer Institute hosted by Duke University, and funded by the National Science Foundation and Duke University.
