The examination also explores why these issues are, in the view of some, no longer relevant and require radical attention. In addition, this work analyzes: Black voting behavior in the 2000 presidential election; the continuing significance of Affirmative Action and attempts to dissolve it; and offers critiques of current Black leaders. The study concludes with an exploration of the declining influence of the CBC in the Black community and examines the CBC attempts to influence U.S. foreign policy in a conservative political culture.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 227mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 295gContributor: John Davis (Edited by)Author: John DavisGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2007
