Book shows how Republican South began on topic of race
In Search of Another Country, subtitled Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution, documents how conservative Southerners skillfully blunted the civil rights era’s impact on the South’s politics and created a powerful new Republican political structure in Dixie.
Importantly, as Crespino describes, the Republican South has cleverly sublimated its racial origins so as to link itself with the broader, national GOP conservative movement.
Crespino avoids giving any hint that his father-in-law is Jim Herring, chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party.
