Race and Democracy - The Civil Rights Struggle in Louisiana, 1915-1972 (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Hailed as one of the best treatments of the civil rights movement, ""Race and Democracy"" is also one of the most comprehensive and detailed studies of the movement at the state level. This far-reaching and dramatic narrative ranges in time from the founding of the New Orleans branch of the NAACP in 1915 to the beginning of Edwin Edwards' first term as governor in 1972. In his new preface Adam Fairclough brings the narrative up-to-date, demonstrating the persistence of racial inequalities and the continuing importance of race as a factor in politics. When Hurricane Katrina exposed the race issue in a new context, Fairclough argues, political leaders mishandled the disaster. A deep-seated culture of corruption, he concludes, compromises the ability of public officials to tackle intransigent problems of urban poverty and inadequate schools.
