An article co-authored by Associate Professor of Government and Associate Dean of Students Philip A. Klinkner titled "Measuring the Difference between White Voting and Polling on Interracial Marriage" was published by the Cambridge University Press Online Journal on May 10. The article had previously been published in print in the Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race in September 2006. Micah Altman, senior research scientist at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science, was Klinkner's co-author.
The article examines the extent and political significance of white racial attitudes. The authors examine an alternative source of data on racial attitudes—actual voting on the purely symbolic repeal of antimiscegenation referenda. The authors found that white voting behavior differs dramatically from what would be predicted based on previous survey research on public and private attitudes.
The Dubois Review: Social Science Research on Race is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to research and criticism on race in the social sciences.
