An expansive and accessible primer on Alabama state politics, past
and present, which provides an in-depth appreciation and
understanding of the twenty-second state's distinctive political
machinery Why does Alabama rank so low on many of the indicators of
quality of life? Why did some of the most dramatic developments in
the civil rights revolution of the 1960s take place in Alabama? Why
is it that a few interest groups seem to have the most political
power in Alabama? William H. Stewart's Alabama Politics in the
Twenty-First Century explores these questions and more,
illuminating many of the often misunderstood details of
contemporary Alabama politics in this cohesive and comprehensive
publication. The Alabama state government, especially as a specimen
of Deep South politics, is a topic of frequent discussion by its
general public-second only to college football. However, there
remains a surprising lack of literature focusing on the workings of
the state's bureaucracy in an extensive and systematic way. Bearing
in mind the Yellowhammer State's long and rich political history,
Stewart concentrates on Alabama's statecraft from the first decade
of the twenty-first century through the November 2010 elections and
considers what the widespread Republican victories mean for their
constituents. He also studies several different themes prominent
during the 2010 elections, including the growing number and
influence of special interest groups, the respective polarization
of whites and blacks into the Republican and Democratic parties,
and the increasingly unwieldy state constitution. This fascinating
and revealing text provides a wealth of information about an
extremely complex state government. Featuring detailed descriptions
of important concepts and events presented in a thorough and
intelligible manner, Alabama Politics in the Twenty-First Century
is perfect for scholars, students, everyday Alabamians, or anyone
who wants the inside scoop on the subtle inner workings of the
Cotton State's politics.
