Analyzing data from the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Study (CMPS), they re-examine the assumptions of a classic Black politics article co-authored by Cathy Cohen and Michael Dawson. 1993. “Neighborhood Poverty and African American Politics.” The American Political Science Review 87: 286–302.  First, Shaw, et. al. find that contrary to Cohen and Dawson's findings contextual poverty has no statistically significant effect upon African American political participation; however, it significantly and negatively effects Latino/a political participation. This may speak to how contemporary forms of economic segregation impact Latino/a communities. Second, Shaw et. al., find racial/ethnic linked fate has positive and statistically significant effects upon Black and Latino/a political participation, which reinforces Dawson's previous findings. And third, beyond the scope of the aforementioned works, they find that face-to-face neighbor interactions positively and significantly promote Black and Latino/a political participation. In conclusion, they discuss how, despite changing political and economic contexts, Dawson’s work remains relevant for understanding Black (and Latino/a) political participation.  For the 2019 APSA meeting, Shaw briefly presented this article on a special panel celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Dawson's book, Behind the Mule: Race and Class in African-American Politics.
