A Two-party South?The author of this challenging book does not discount the ties that hold the South to a one-party system; yet he presents convincing evidence that the region and its politics have been changing and that the trend is toward two-party politics. The most startling sign of change was the Dixiecratic bolt-revolt. Originally published in 1952.
