T his second volume of the National Political Science Review (NPSR) is dedicated to the Twentieth Anniversary of the founding of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS). Founded in 1969, the anniversary was celebrated at the annual meeting of the organization held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in March 1989, and is commemorated in this volume by a special introductory section that includes formal addresses delivered on the occasion by the organizations first president (Mack H. Jones) and by its then-current president (Dianne M. Pinderhughes.)

The major focus of this second volume of the NPSR, however, is on attempts by African Americans to use electoral politics to achieve their political objectives. This allows us an opportunity to assess the symbolic and substantive dimensions of the from protests to politics drive begun by black leaders in the late 1960s and continuing today. In the some twenty years of this resort to politics, blacks have made important gains in electoral politics. At bottom, however, the importance of these gains can be best assessed when subjected to more rigorous theoretical and empirical analysis by scholars who come from a variety of backgrounds and who utilize a variety of approaches and methods.

One of the overall reasons for establishing the NPSR was that research findings reported on and reviewed in its volumes could bring to the academic marketplace additional perspectives and insights that might not otherwise be forthcoming on important topics of scholarly research. This would seem to hold special importance in dealing with topics such as black electoral politics, where perception, sensitivity, and ingenuity of data collection and use can prove as important to the validity of the research as does the use of rigorous and systematic methods and approaches. Hopefully, both can be found in the articles in this volume.

Just as in volume 1, this volume includes major feature articles, a special symposium, and a Book Review section. The general theme, Black Electoral Politics: Participation, Performance, and Promise, is well reflected in each of these sections. The feature articles, for example, are the contributions Racial Belief Systems, Religious Guidance, and African-American Political Participation; White/Black Perceptions of the Electability of Black Political Candidates; Electoral Politics, Affirmative Action, and the Supreme Court: The Case of Richmond v. Croson; Political Responses to Underemployment among African Americans; and The Politics of Higher Education: Analysis of Adams States Progress. These articles should add greatly to our understanding of American politics, of which black electoral politics constitutes an essential part.

A major feature of the issue is a special symposium on Big-City Black Mayors: Have They Made a Difference? The symposium includes introductory and concluding essays that place the topic in conceptual and historical context. The core of the symposium consists of brief but succinct case studies of the promise, problems, and performance of selected big-city black mayors: Harold Washington of Chicago, Tom Bradley of Los Angeles, Andrew Young of Atlanta, Marion Barry of Washington, D.C., W. Wilson Goode of Philadelphia, and Coleman Young of Detroit. Another contribution analyzes Black Politics and Mayoral Leadership in Birmingham and New Orleans.
