Description
Summary:[...]that we overstate at times “the degree to which racial hierarchy has retreated from the center of southern politics.” Notable examples are the urban riots of the 1960s, the riots in the aftermath of the Rodney King beating by police, and most recently the Black Lives Matter movement in response to multiple tragic incidents of police brutality against African Americans. [...]the South has become more like the rest of the nation both in terms of its politics and race relations. Today it is on the latter dimension that the South is less like other regions. [...]our books pair well together in their focus on demographics.
