Departing from earlier research on racial priming, which examined the use of racial messaging primarily by white Republican candidates, Stephens-Dougan argues that the electoral incentives that exist for candidates to engage in racially inflammatory messaging are so great that even candidates of color running in these districts often find racially derogatory campaign appeals effectively. This book makes an important contribution to the study of American political behavior and race and ethnic politics.\" -- Ismail K.
