Item Description:Includes bibliographical references and index
Competing visions for postwar Georgia: 1946 -- Politics in Georgia before Brown: 1946-1954 -- Contesting massive resistance: 1954-1962 -- "A truly democratic party": 1962-1966 -- "The damndest mess": 1966 -- The loyalist backlash: 1966-1971 -- The new south in state and nation: 1971-1976
Boyd deftly shows how Georgia Democrats forged a successful (if morally problematic) response to the civil rights movement, allowing them to remain in power until internal divisions eventually weakened the party. The result is a study that recognizes the myriad forces southern leaders faced as the Jim Crow South gave way to new political realities and greatly enhances our understanding of southern politics today
