4.0 out of 5 stars Marginalised, June 26, 2004
This review is from: The Congressional Black Caucus: Racial Politics in the US Congress (Contemporary American Politics) (Hardcover)
A sharp and overall critical view of the Congressional Black Caucus. Singh describes its history as a by-now well established caucus. While formally non-partisan, it has been strongly Democratic, with only an occasionaly Republican member.

Singh goes into the group's strategies and their effectiveness. In the context of the overall Federal legislature, the CBC has had limited effect. Singh argues that in large part, their policies were far to the left of most members, even Democrats. This has led to them being marginalised on many issues.

He maintains a dispassionate tone over these events. He does not advocate or oppose any particular action by the CBC. Rather, he focuses on how that action came to being, and its effects.
