From Blue to Red: The Rise of the GOP in Arkansas
Autor John C. Davisen Limba Engleză Hardback – mar 2024
John C. Davis’s From Blue to Red: The Rise of the GOP in Arkansas provides a rigorous yet accessible study of this partisan shift, tracking changes in voter preference at the top of the ticket in the 1960s, generational replacement in Arkansas’ political power structure in the 1990s, and the emergence of a more nationalized and polarized electorate in the 2000s, among other developments. From Blue to Red is a fascinating look at how Arkansas went from being one of the country’s most solidly Democratic states to one of its most ardently Republican in just a few years.

Recenzii
“From Blue to Red: The Rise of the GOP in Arkansas is the definitive book on the modern history of the Arkansas GOP. By researching and writing this history, Dr. Davis has critiqued the key ingredients for the rise of any political movement and then dramatically laid out the challenges of the future for the Arkansas GOP. Dr. Davis writes in a way that both informs and inspires those interested in politics, and then makes one think about the future and what it will bring. This book will be enjoyed and studied for generations into the future.”
—Asa Hutchinson, former Arkansas governor
“From Blue to Red provides a new view on the shifting partisan behavior within the South by looking at the uniqueness of the state of Arkansas. John C. Davis uses interviews, historical overview, and voting data to explore the trends that began in the 1970s but did not culminate until years after the Reagan administration. This is a story worth exploring.”
—Pearl K. Ford Dowe, coauthor of Remaking the Democratic Party: Lyndon B. Johnson as a Native-Son Presidential Candidate
“Politics wonks of every political stripe have been waiting for a full accounting of the fastest, deepest party change to any state’s party brand since the 1930s. John C. Davis provides it with From Blue to Red. Davis’s pairing of election and public-opinion data with in-depth interviews provides readers with a lively, holistic account of a phenomenon that will define the state for decades to come.”
