Abstract Details

2018, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, Political Science.
Constitutional democracies are at least formally committed to the idea that citizens can expect equal treatment from their political institutions. What are the social and institutional consequences of failing to deliver on these expectations? Does the continuous subversion of pro-racial equality actions produce a lower set of expectations among African Americans and a heightened sense of political disappointment among all U.S. citizens? Activists and legal advocates in the American context have embraced a range of strategies and terrains of struggle in resisting racism, but these efforts have not been as effectual as needed.
