In The Rational Southerner, M. V. Hood, Quentin Kidd, and Irwin L. Morris develop a theory of relative advantage to explain why whites fled the Democratic Party and what propelled black political mobilization. Collating decades of data, the authors demonstrate that race was, and is, the chief force behind political change in the region. 606 $aPolitical culture$zSouthern States 606 $aAfrican Americans$zSouthern States$xPolitics and government 606 $aRacism$zSouthern States 606 $aParty affiliation$zSouthern States 607 $aSouthern States$xPolitics and government 607 $aSouthern States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aParty affiliation 676 $a306.20975 700 $aHood$b M.
