Description
One of the most important developments in American politics during this century has been the growing prominence and influence of the Southern states on the national political landscape. The Executive Branch is controlled by Arkansas and Tennessee, the House of Representatives is led from Georgia, and the Senate from Mississippi. Republican control in Congress depends largely on white Southern votes. Written by the country's most prominent scholars of Southern politics, The New Politics of the Old South is a state-by-state analysis of contemporary Southern political behavior that analyzes the influence of race and religious interest groups on the Southern electorate. Designed to be adopted for courses on Southern politics but accessible to interested general readers, this book traces the shifting trends of the Southern electorate and explains its growing influence on the course of national politics.
