When Jimmy Carter (b. 1924) lost the presidency in 1980, it would
have been reasonable to think his public life was coming to an end.
The moderate, evangelical, blue-jeans-wearing peanut farmer made an
unlikely governor of Georgia, and an even less likely winner of the
vicious 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. Coming into an era
of American politics where evangelical and rural voters became
increasingly identified with the Reagan revolution, and the
Democratic Party's identity became increasingly secular and urban
by attrition, he did not fit neatly into the political categories
of the emerging decade. But it was not politics that would define
President Carter in the end: it would be his humble Christian faith
and his enduring commitment to the poor, to peace, and to human
rights. In Conversations with Jimmy Carter, eleven interviews,
drawn from Carter's five decades as a national public figure,
capture the complexities and contradictions that have defined
him-and that have helped to both reflect and shape the highest
aspirations of the American experiment.
