Title

Partisan Attachments Of Southern Party Activists

Abstract

The American South has long made for a fascinating case study for the examinations of the causes and consequences of changes in the underlying distribution of partisan attachments. Once a region where the overwhelming majority held Democratic Party identifications (Key 1949), the South at the beginning of the twenty-first century is now divided between Democratic and Republican identifiers. Indeed, when the focus shifts just to southern whites, a majority now hold Republican Party identifications (Black and Black 2002). This partisan transformation occurred gradually, resembling what Key (1959) referred to as a secular realignment. Copyright © 2004 by The University Press of Kentucky. All rights reserved.
