Georgia Democrats, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Shaping of the New South

Beschreibung

The precipitous fall of the Democratic Party in southern politics during the latter half of the twentieth century has sparked a rich scholarly debate. Tim Boyd challenges one of the most prominent explanations for this shift: the 'white backlash' theory. Taking the political experience in Georgia as a case study, he makes a compelling argument that New South politics formed out of the factional differences within the state Democratic Party and not simply as a result of white reactions to the civil rights movement.
