Professor David Kirp of the Goldman School of Public Policy and Dean
Christopher Edley of the UC Berkeley Law School in conjunction with
researchers from the Department of Political Science co-authored a
report which analyzes the effect of race baiting in American elections
and identifies "The Dirty Dozen" as case studies which are the most
disturbing uses of race in elections during the past quarter century. It
offers valuable lessons for this election cycle. The report, "Race Bait
'08: Lessons Learned from the Political Dirty Dozen: 12 Cases of Playing
the Race Card 1983-2007" is available at the following link.
