Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion of the social and political circumstances that have necessitated black political unity, norms of black political behavior, and the emergence of racialized social constraint. Placing its historical origins in slavery, the chapter looks at how racialized social constraint has developed from a tool for navigating the complicated social and political world of forced labor communities into an instrument for facilitating racial group-based collective action politics among black Americans. It connects norms of racial group constraint formed under slavery to mechanisms for mobilizing blacks into the protest activities of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement and tools for facilitating specific forms of engagement in modern electoral politics. From the combined insights provided by a historical review of black Americans' efforts at collective action and the racialized social constraint model, the chapter derives predictions of how racialized norms of political behavior constrain black partisan support in modern electoral politics. Finally, the chapter highlights two basic facts that speak to the explanatory potential of this framework.
