• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""From Cotton Belt to Sunbelt" marks a breakthrough in social and political analysis, showing for the first time how the interconnection between national and regional politics, on the one hand, and government policy, on the other, brought about the transformation of the social economy of the South from the days of the New Deal to the 1980s. Moreover, it is written with verve and clarity and from a wealth of governmental and manuscript sources. All that is hard to beat."--Carl Degler, Stanford University
