Rodney King framed what might be called the enduring question of American politics from the Founding "Can we all get along?" In a nation built by immigrants and bedeviled by the history and legacy of slavery, issues of liberty, equality, and community continue to challenge Americans. Paula McClain and Joseph Stewart combine traditional elements of political science analysis—history, Constitutional theory, institutions, political behavior, and policy actors—with a thorough-going survey of the political status of four African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. They show similarities and differences in these groups' political action and experience, and point the way toward coalition, competition, and consensus building in the face of ongoing conflict.

Meier, 1992, "Rotisserie Political Science," PS: Political Science & Politics , 25, 565-568), a convention paper “analyzing” the work of “Texas' fastest rising Jewish country music star” and current candidate for governor of Texas, Kinky Friedman, and appearances on roundtables and panels at professional meetings, such as "The Contributions of Elvis Presley to the Study of Political Science," “Country Music and Political Science,” and “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Political Science.”

In a nation built by immigrants and bedeviled by the history and legacy of slavery and discrimination, how do we, as Americans, reconcile a commitment to equality and freedom with persistent inequality and discrimination?
