Abstract
This study suggests an “Afrocentric” perspective for analyzing African American political behavior and applies the concept to data from Louisiana elections prior to 1965. The analysis indicates that use of individual characteristics of voters neglects contextual factors determining voter support for African American candidates. Voter registration and participation turn out to be largely a function of discrimination consistent with the “social threat” hypothesis.
