Oklahoma is a plains state exemplifying the Middle American virtues
of family, lodge, and church; a southern state in the path of the
power shift from the indus-trial East to the energy-rich sunbelt; a
western state of modern cowboys and rodeos. Small wonder its
political culture is so varied. The authors of "Oklahoma Politics
and Policies" contend that Oklahoma is a paradox--a state
struggling for a clear sense of identity where the old and new vie
for the allegiance of its citizens. David R. Morgan, Robert E.
England, and George O. Humphreys examine the history of Oklahoma
and the place of Native Americans in this former Indian Territory;
the state's links to the federal government; its executive,
legislative, and judicial systems; political parties and interest
groups; local government; and the current policy issues that
confront its citizens. They assess the attempts of Oklahomans to
revive their economy. The 1990s will be bright, the authors
sug-gest, if Oklahomans can put aside internal conflicts and the
politics of negativism in approaching economic and social problems
more pragmatically.
