As late as 1960, political life in the Southern states was dominated by a Democratic party seeking to preserve white supremacy. When national Democrats abandoned the Southern cause and vigorously advocated equal rights for blacks, the solidly Democratic South crumbled and gave way to the two-party system that remains in place today. Lamis explains how this transformation occurred, covering each of the eleven Southern states in individual chapters and also offering overview chapters that chart regional and national trends.

About the Author:
Alexander P. Lamis, Associate Professor of Political Science, Case Western Reserve University.
Review:
"The best book I have yet seen on the rise of the two party system in the ex-Confederacy."--David Robinson, University of Houston

"Persons requiring a concise treatment of the erosion of the southern political monolith during the past twenty-five years will find Lamis's enlarged study highly useful."--North Carolina Historical Review

From reviews of the first edition: "The best study of Southern partisan politics yet published....Entertaining and informative."--Numan V. Bartley, University of Georgia

"Would be most useful in upper-level or graduate courses covering southern or U.S. politics. The chapters describing politics in each southern state would certainly make appropriate reserve readings for courses in state history or politics. It is an excellent study."--Teaching History

"A gracefully written and cogently argued book."--Perspective

"[Lamis] displays an impressive ability to summarize the electoral history of eleven states while retaining an analytical focus....A first-rate work, useful to all who would understand the confused and confusing politics of the South in the last two decades."--Journal of Southern
History

"A valuable, much needed resource in the pedagogy of southern politics and history. It is a readable and, at times, humorous [book]."--Southeastern Political Review

"Lamis's research is wide and eclectic....He successfully combines the eye for telling detail of the reporter he once was with a sensitivity to the broader trends and the theoretical of the trained political scientist he now is."--Georgia Historical Quarterly
