They lack the resources of wealthier business-funded lobbying groups. And yet, these groups have been able to influence Congress in order to pass legislation and pressure agencies in the service of minority communities. In No Longer Outsiders: Black and Latino Interest Group Advocacy on Capitol Hill, Michael D. Minta explores the ways that civil rights groups representing a range of racial and ethnic minorities achieve success in Congress. Minta shows how increasing diversity in the House of Representatives plays an important role in the success of civil rights organizations. These organizations gain power and respect in part because they indeed represent the interests and views of their minority groups. The organizations from different ethnic and racial groups successfully cooperate on legislation and work closely with groups like the Congressional Black and Latino Caucuses to get a place at the legislative table"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress. 650 0 $a Public interest lobbying $z United States. 650 0 $a Pressure groups $z United States. 650 0 $a Human rights advocacy $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Societies, etc. $x Societies, etc. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $x Societies, etc. $z United States $x Societies, etc. 650 0 $a Minority legislators $z United States. 650 0 $a Cultural pluralism $x Political aspects $z United States. 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 650 7 $a African Americans $x Societies, etc. $x Societies, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799581 650 7 $a Human rights advocacy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963343 650 7 $a Minority legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023365 650 7 $a Pressure groups. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075954 650 7 $a Public interest lobbying. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739909 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226765440 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023600.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07518B445F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
