Race, Immigration, and Identity in United States Politics Taeku Lee, Associate Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley, has written extensively on the role of identity, language, partisanship, political trust, and stereotypes in shaping contemporary race relations and ethnic politics in the United States. His book, Mobilizing Public Opinion (2002) won the American Political Science Association's J. David Greenstone Award for best book on politics and history, as well as the Southern Political Science Association's V. O. Key Award for best book on southern politics. In this lecture, Professor Lee will draw on his forthcoming work with Zoltan Hajnal on party identification and the politics of race and immigration, tentatively titled "Exit, Voice, and Identity," and on a forthcoming edited volume, "Transforming Politics, Transforming America." This presentation by the New Racial Studies Project is co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science.
