Southern power and influence in Congress has been on the wane in the latter part of the 20th Century, but as the essayists in this collection suggest, the region appears posed to reclaim its influence. While southern legislative politics is still a product of the region's unique history, political experience, racial legacy, and experience with one-partyism, Congress is one of the primary--if not the paramount--battlegrounds where southern politics are making an impact on the rest of the United States.

For all scholars and researchers involved with contemporary southern politics, Congressional politics, and U.S. elections.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
