This volume is anchored by a symposium focusing on efforts to enhance representation of African Americans in legislative bodies under the authority of the voting Rights Act of 1965, and on recent court challenges to the constitutionality of redistricting plans drawn under that act. It extends the ongoing and protracted, highly charged public debate. Persons' introduction argues that recent Supreme Court decisions have posited a legal meaning of representation at variance with the more broadly philosophical meaning in the ideal of enhancing equality among different groups in a society.
