The South is back as a central player in U.S. elections. I greatly
enjoyed reading this fantastic book, which shows that race,
religion, suburbanization, and region are central to our new and
emerging understanding of southern politics. This collection of
essays presents one of the best and most accessible deep dives into
the region’s role in the 2020 elections. If you want to know how
the South shapes the electoral politics of the United States, read
this book!
*Christian Grose, University of Southern California*
The South is a hotbed of political change. Demography is catching
up with politics. It is the most exciting of regions, for better, a
more competitive and representative politics, or worse, increased
restrictions on voting by people of color. With Florida, Texas,
North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and other states threatening to
adapt, short-term or long-term, to the politics of mainstream
America.
