Scholars studying the causes and consequences of political representation, particularly in terms of gender and race, often turn to a concept called descriptive representation. Descriptive representation tells us the degree to which elected officials resemble their constituents, and whether such a resemblance has a bearing on the way they legislate. In other words, do people vote for candidates of their same racial/ethnic background or gender? If they do, does this affect the type of policies an elected official pursues? Further, if citizens see people who look like them in office, does it have an effect on their political attitudes and participation? In this book, Christopher J. Clark argues that descriptive representation is a more multi-faceted phenomenon than previously shown, particularly when observed at the state level. He contends that black political involvement, political attitudes, and public opinion are contingent on more than being represented by a single black elected official. Rather, they hinge on the proportion of African Americans making up a state legislature--what Clark terms "black seat share"--as well as the degree to which that proportion reflects the demographic makeup of the state. As well, Clark pinpoints the critical mass of African American legislators necessary to initiate the creation of black caucuses, an important institution for minority representation. Clark bases his study on an examination of black representation in state legislatures between 1966 and 2010, looking particularly at black political opinion and involvement in the development of welfare and education policy.

“Amanda is more of a guru than a vocal coach and has not created a technical manual on how to sing, but rather takes an extremely philosophical and holistic viewpoint towards the art of singing. If you are a seasoned singer you will most definitely experience a breakthrough. If you are a beginner, there is no better way to set yourself straight from the start. Lucky you!” KIT CHAN – Singer, Actress, Producer, Creative Director . “Some teachers are good, others are inspirational. One of the most diverse and talented artists I have ever worked with.” TONY MCGILL, Musical Director, Arranger, Performer, Program Director, LASALLE College of the Arts “This new book is truly one of a kind! From the perspective of a remarkable teacher and performer, Colliver provides unique insight into the life and training process of professional singers across a range of genres. A fascinating and inspiring work for anyone who sings or wants to sing.” JOAN MELTON, PhD, ADVS Writer, Researcher, Voice Coach, NYC “Very simply, Amanda Colliver is the best in the business!” ADRIAN & TRACIE PANG, Artistic Directors of Pangdemonium Productions “Amanda’s book is a rare blend of wisdom and practical exercises drawing on her vast experience as a performer, teacher, and mentor. Her writing lays bare all the layers of misconception and half-baked theories that you and I might have about how to sing. “Can Anybody Sing?” is a road map and action plan that shows us how to fall in love with our voices, ourselves, and our lives.” DEBORAH THURLEY – Mum, businesswoman, meditation and yoga teacher.
