In analyzing Black politics since the late 1960s, James Jennings focuses on both the behavioral aspects, such as individual and group characteristics of voting and nonvoting and elections, as well a more fundamental philosophical and cultural questions regarding Black politics.

Since the end of the Second World War, poverty in the United States has been a persistent focus of social anxiety, public debate, and federal policy.
