Lublin's evidence, together with policy recommendations for improving minority representation, will make observers of the political scene reconsider the avenues to fair representation.\nUsing data on all representatives elected to Congress between 1972 and 1994, Lublin examines the link between the racial composition of a congressional district and its representative's race as well as ideology. The author confirms the view that specially drawn districts must exist to ensure the election of African Americans and Latinos. He also shows, however, that a relatively small number of minorities in a district can lead to the election of a representative attentive to their interests\n. When African Americans and Latinos make up 40 percent of a district, according to Lublin's findings, they have a strong liberalizing influence on representatives of both parties; when they make up 55 percent, the district is almost certain to elect a minority representative.\nLublin notes that particularly in the South, the practice of concentrating minority populations into a small number of districts decreases the liberal influence in the remaining areas. Thus, a handful of minority representatives, almost invariably Democrats, win elections, but so do a greater number of conservative Republicans. The author proposes that establishing a balance between majority-minority districts and districts where the minority population would be slightly more dispersed, maki\nng up 40 percent of a total district, would allow more African Americans to exercise more influence over their representatives."}}]},{"typeName":"publication","multiple":true,"typeClass":"compound","value":[{"publicationCitation":{"typeName":"publicationCitation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lublin, David. \"The Paradox of Representation: Racial Gerrymandering and Minority Interests in Congress\" (Princeton University Press 1997).<a href=\"http://press.princeton.edu/titles/6064.html\" target= \"_new\"> book available here </a>"}},{"publicationCitation":{"typeName":"publicationCitation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lublin, David. \"The Paradox of Representation: Racial Gerrymandering and Minority Interests in Congress\" (Princeton University Press 1997).<a href=\"http://press.princeton.edu/titles/6064.html\" target= \"_new\"> book available here </a>"}},{"publicationCitation":{"typeName":"publicationCitation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lublin, David. \"The Election of African Americans and Latinos to the U.S. House of Representatives, 1972-1994\" American Politics Quarterly (July 1997).
