Description
The Southern Democrats: A Crucial Role in American National Politics Since the election of Jimmy Carter, the Southern Democrats have played a significant part in shaping recent American national politics. This timely examination explores their history and influence in congressional and presidential politics. Nicol Rae argues that despite the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Southern Democrats remain a distinctive faction. They have evolved from being an outlying element within the party to coming closer to the national Democratic norm, particularly on civil rights issues. The book delves into the success of Bill Clinton in winning the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination and reveals the changing role of Southern Democrats in internal party politics and national elections. Rae draws on interviews with southern politicians and memoirs and accounts of past campaigns to assess the present and future state of this important southern wing of the Democratic party.
