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.
