Synopsis uitgever
In his study of Mississippi, Crespino provides a challenging, comprehensive examination of white southerners confronting the modern Civil Rights Movement. While focusing on the actions, strategies, and beliefs from the Brown v. Board of Education decision to the rise of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Crespino successfully reevaluates the perspective of southern whites beyond the Ku Klux Klan and those espousing virulent racism. -- J. Michael Bitzer Choice In this important and engagingly written book historian Joseph Crespino has examined Mississippi's white population and has discovered more complexity, and much more change over time, than Phil Ochs [in his biting anthem, 'Here's to the State of Mississippi'] would have thought possible. -- Bruce Nelson Journal of Southern History Elucidating the connection between modern conservatives who avow racial equality and the southern segregationists who so strongly resisted it, ... Crespino counters the facile historical claims of conservatives who identify their movement with the religious, nonviolent, and integrationist civil rights crusades of the 1950s and early 1960s. -- Paul V. Murphy American Historical Review Crespino navigates ... with consummate skill, offering clear understandings of state and national politics and basing his linkages of the two fields on solid evidence... In Search of Another Country is a stellar work of historical scholarship, powerfully researched, organized, and argued. -- Peter N. Stearns Journal of Social History In Search of Another Country is an excellent addition to the growing literature on the Republican counterrevolution in the American South. It is well researched and deftly argued. Although the layman might not appreciate its careful attention to detail, the specialist will. Indeed, it is a book that deserves a place on the shelf of every research library. -- Barton C. Shaw Journal of American Studies Meer lezen...
