Movers and Stayers - The Partisan Transformation of 21st Century Southern Politics

The South is on the cusp of a partisan transformation-one in which Democratic support is quickly accelerating--and Movers and Stayers explains why this change is occurring. It shows how young, educated movers are encouraging the increasing progressivism of the high growth communities that are their new homes, and it highlights the increasing conservatism of white stayers in the communities movers are leaving behind. Movers and Stayers highlights the contributions of blacks and Latinos to the growing progressivism in the South, and it explains the coming schism between high growth and stagnating communities (and states) in the South.
