Notes from the Editors

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 May 2010

Extract

Virtually all of this issue's articles challenge conventional belief in some area of political science.

Race in U.S. political history. If the Civil War freed and enfranchised African-Americans, by 1874 the tide had begun to recede; and the corrupt bargain that settled the Presidential election of 1876 but ended Reconstruction and hastened the rollback, not only of the “equal protection of the laws” that the Fourteenth Amendment had guaranteed, but of voting rights and desegregation. By the 1890s, “Jim Crow” and racial hierarchy were again entrenched.
