ABSTRACT

The National Political Science Review (NPSR), a refereed publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists, is seeking to expand its contributor and subscriber base. The NPSR was conceived with emphasis particularly on theoretical/empirical research on politics and policies that advantage or disadvantage groups by reason of race, ethnicity, or gender, or other such factors. The NPSR also seeks to embrace the socio-political dimensions of all disciplines within the social sciences, broadly defined. Generally, the NPSR seeks to incorporate analysis of the full range of human activities which undergird and impinge upon political life. Thus in addition to contributions from political scientists, the NPSR seeks relevant contributions from historians, sociologists, anthropologists, theologians, economists, ethicists, and others. The NPSR strives to be at the forefront of lively scholarly discourse on domestic and global political life particularly as disadvantaged groups are affected.
