For most of the nation, Alabama government is emblemized by
Governor George Wallace blocking the entry to the University of
Alabama, defying court-ordered integration and championing
states'-rights slogans. But Wallace's return to power in the 1980s
witnessed sweeping social and political changes in Alabama. Today
the state for the most part enjoys the aura of "the new South."
James D. Thomas and William H. Stewart, both natives of Alabama,
bring a detailed sense of its colorful past to their
forward-looking book about its government and political
institutions.
In the course of writing about Alabama's legislative,
administrative, and judiciary branches; its local politics; and its
historic relations with the federal government, Thomas and Stewart
reveal much about life today in this southern state. Low taxes,
industrialization and urbanization, the civil rights movement, and
a trend toward two-party politics have helped to usher in dramatic
changes. Although continued change is in the wind, the authors do
not think that Alabama's political institutions will soon lose
their distinctive Alabama character, and no book has ever described
that better than "Alabama Government and Politics,"
