What is The Congressional Black Caucus: Racial Politics in the US Congress (Contemporary American Politics) about?

The Congressional Black Caucus Has Grown Both In Size And In Prominence In Its Short Lifetime. Robert Singh Considers The Actual Impact Of The Cbc On Public Policy In This New Volume For The Contemporary American Politics Series. Singh Argues That While The Cbc Forcefully Articulates The Concerns Of African Americans, It Has Not Only Proven An Ineffective Interest Lobby For Their Issues, But Has Become Increasingly Irrelevant As A Labor Union For Its Own Members.

The Congressional Black Caucus Will Be Of Considerable Interest To Scholars And Students In The Areas Of Legislative Process, Race And Politics, Public Policy, And Political Sociology. 1.
