As migration alters the southern political landscape, partisan
battle lines will be drawn between the Democrat-leaning areas of
growth and the increasingly Republican areas of decline and
stagnation. The Democratic Party is gaining support in the South,
but the prevailing explanations of partisan shift fail to capture
how and why this transformation has come about. In Movers and
Stayers, Irwin Morris develops a new theory that explains the
Democrats' renewed influence in the region and empirically
demonstrates the influence of population growth. As Morris shows,
migratory patterns play a significant role in politics, and
urbanization is driving polarization in the South. Those who move
to cities-the "movers" of Morris's framework-do so for jobs, and
they tend to be progressive, young, well-educated Democrats. Their
liberal views tend to be reinforced by the diversity of the
communities in which they choose to live, and their progressivism
fosters similar values among long-term residents. At the same time,
"stayers" (long-term residents) absorb the consequences-or
"community threat"-of this large-scale migration. While white
stayers tend to become more conservative, the effects on voter
behavior play out differently across racial lines. Both movers and
stayers are altering the southern political landscape and
polarization nationwide. Powerfully counterintuitive, Movers and
Stayers provides a game-changing way of understanding one of the
most confounding trends in American politics.
