Politics in the new South : republicanism, race, and leadership in the twentieth century by Richard K Scher( Book )

15 editions published between 1992 and 2016 in English and held by 543 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"This edition of Politics in the New South takes the remarkable story of the transformation of southern politics in the twentieth century up through the virtual triumph of southern Republicanism in the mid-1990s. The book explores not only the fundamental changes that have occurred - in party politics, political leadership, voting rights and black participation - but also the strong continuities in the political culture of the South despite a reversal of party allegiances.

1 edition published in 1995 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

"The theme of this paper is that Florida has a long way to go in building a sense of nationhood and of fostering a spirit of community among its residents.
