Description
The Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Dr. Jim Clark, a professor of history here at the University of Central Florida. Their conversation centered on Dr. Clark’s 2014 book A Concise History of Florida, with specific attention to the chapters relating to the history of Florida politics, as the timing is appropriate since we are currently in midterm voting season in Florida, and having that historical background and understanding of Florida politics can enrich one’s experience going to the polls this voting season by being more aware and appreciative of those historical trajectories that got us into the present moment.
NOTE: At 32:25 Sebastian said, “5 days out from the general election day” without following that statement with “as of this recording”. As of the publication of this episode we are 4 days out from the general election day which is Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Go vote now during early voting or on the day of the general election!
