“…Because political interest predicts civic participation (Leighley & Vedlitz, 1999;Stromback & Shehata, 2010), presidential elections "provide unique 'teachable moments' for educators to leverage students' out-of-school experiences to strengthen their interest in related issues" (Levy et al, 2016).…”

This mixed-methods study examined the political typologies, perspectives, and presidential preferences of 115 8th-grade students both six weeks before and on Election Day 2016. Data from the Pew Research Center's Political Typology quiz, surveys, coursework, and classroom observations revealed the students political candidate preferences were stable, though their political ideologies were quite malleable, with more than half (55%) of the students' political typologies changing over the six weeks. After the election, most students expressed disdain and fear, yet few were able to express actions they could take to engage in the political process.

“…Uma literatura mais recente vem mostrando que a relação entre raça, etnicidade e recursos não pode ser facilmente reduzida aos recursos, mesmo recursos como língua e religião (Leighley e Vedlitz, 1999;Leighley e Matsubayashi, 2009;Cho, Gimpel e Wu, 2006;Segura e Rodrigues, 2006; Lua Nova, São Paulo, 85: 187-226, 2012 Chandra, 2006). Esses textos, assim como um conjunto de outros artigos e livros, apresentam críticas pontuais à abordagem de recursos tal como formulada no modelo do voluntarismo cívico e propõem, menos do que um deslocamento analítico na relação entre raça e recursos, refinamentos e maior precisão na maneira com que raça é incorporada no modelo.…”

A discussão sobre raça na política brasileira é mote entre cientistas sociais de diversas perspectivas: pelo seu papel na formação do Estado nacional, nos movimentos sociais ou ainda nas políticas públicas voltadas a grupos raciais. Mas, pela maior parte da ciência política brasileira, é rapidamente descartada como irrelevante ou residual. Este texto, no entanto, toma o lugar da raça na política como uma questão central e propõe as seguintes questões: Qual é o papel da raça no comportamento político dos indivíduos? De que maneira o pertencimento a um grupo racial se expressa na atuação política? Qual é a interação entre raça e recursos como determinantes da participação? Para pensar as relações entre raça e comportamento político, uma das tradições de pesquisa mais estabelecidas em ciência política, por seus achados empíricos consistentes, argumenta que indivíduos com maior posse de recursos socioeconômicos, assim como orientações psicológicas * Este texto é parte da pesquisa apresentada em Bueno (2010). Agradeço a Adrian Gurza Lavalle, pela orientação minuciosa e rigorosa, e a Bruno Reis, George Avelino e Antonio Sérgio Alfredo Guimarães, pelos comentários e sugestões.

“…This is categorized as the participation model, or the psychological characteristics model. Leighley and Vedlitz (1999) find, for example, that political interest, in addition to income and education, among other variables, is statistically significant in predicting participation in Texas communities.…”

“…Others postulate that race, marital status, home ownership, and other forms of social connectedness are relevant in measuring participation and voting (Filla and Johnson 2010;Krishna 2002;Leighley and Vedlitz 1999;Marschall 2001). Alvarez and Butterfield (1999) analyze voter turnout rates among Latinos and whites and demonstrate that in Los Angeles County, Latinos do not participate as much as whites with other variables controlled.…”

“…The socioeconomic model, which is prominent in national studies, (Conway 2000;Krishna 2002;Milbrath 1965) views education and income as the primary explanatory variables determining the likelihood of political participation. In studies of regional politics, some go beyond the socioeconomic variables to examine the impact of political interest and efficacy (Leighley and Vedlitz 1999;Marschall 2001). This is categorized as the participation model, or the psychological characteristics model.…”
