The transformation of Southern politics over the past fifty years
has been one of the most significant developments in American
political life. The emergence of formidable Republican strength in
the previously solid Democratic South has generated a novel and
highly competitive national battle for control of Congress. Tracing
the slow and difficult rise of Republicans in the South over five
decades, Earl and Merle Black tell the remarkable story of
political upheaval. The Rise of Southern Republicans provides a
compelling account of growing competitiveness in Southern party
politics and elections. Through extraordinary research and
analysis, the authors track Southern voters' shifting economic,
cultural, and religious loyalties, black/white conflicts and
interests during and after federal civil rights intervention, and
the struggles and adaptations of congressional candidates and
officials. A newly competitive South, the authors argue, means a
newly competitive and revitalized America. The story of how the
South became a two-party region is ultimately the story of
two-party politics in America at the end of the twentieth century.
Earl and Merle Black have written a bible for anyone who wants to
understand regional and national congressional politics over the
past half-century. Because the South is now at the epicenter of
Republican and Democratic strategies to control Congress, The Rise
of Southern Republicans is essential to understanding the dynamics
of current American politics.
