Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, urban migration, the growth of the Republican Party, and the rise of African Americans in the political landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelying on the methodology that V. O. Key used in his 1949 classic \u003ci\u003eSouthern Politics in State and Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, the work draws on interviews with more than 360 politicians, scholars, journalists, and labor leaders, and includes a wealth of data on voting trends, political perceptions, and population flow to present a comprehensive portrait of the region up to the 1976 presidential election. In the preface to the Brown Thrasher edition, Bass and De Vries offer an overview of the region's current political climate, including an analysis of the 1994 mid-term elections. They also provide excerpts from their interview with Bill Clinton during his first campaign for political office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Bass, Walter de Vries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820317284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820317281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.17w x 1.21d","brand":"Jack Bass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721273823487,"sku":"9780820317281","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19b4d97c-7c2a-4845-b6c2-ea1608bdbe8d.jpg?v=1742752372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-transformation-of-southern-politics-jack-bass-9780820317281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
