In "The Texas Right: The Radical Roots of Lone Star Conservatism,"
some of our most accomplished and readable historians push the
origins of present-day Texas conservatism back to the decade
preceding the twentieth century. They illuminate the initial
factors that began moving Texas to the far right, even before the
arrival of the New Deal.
By demonstrating that Texas politics foreshadowed the partisan
realignment of the erstwhile Solid South, the studies in this book
challenge the traditional narrative that emphasizes the right-wing
critique of modern America voiced by, among others, radical
conservatives of the state's Democratic Party, beginning in the
1930s. As the contributors show, it is impossible to understand the
Jeffersonian Democrats of 1936, the Texas Regular movement of 1944,
the Dixiecrat Party of 1948, the Shivercrats of the 1950s, state
members of the John Birch Society, Texas members of Young Americans
for Freedom, Reagan Democrats, and most recently, even, the Tea
Party movement without first understanding the underlying impulses
that produced their formation.
