Book Synopsis
As government agencies have encouraged faith-based organizations to help ensure social welfare, many black churches have received grants to provide services to their neighborhoods' poorest residents. This title demonstrates that this alliance serves as a means for black clergy to reaffirm their political leadership in black civil society.

Trade Review
"This exceptional book will be crucial for those of us who study black politics. In this era of strange alliances between the Republican right and black Christian fundamentalists, research that illuminates how the formerly contentious and confrontational black church has adapted to certain political realities has cutting-edge relevancy." - Andrea Y. Simpson, University of Richmond"
