For a half-century the Citadel Symposium assembled the best scholars of the South to explore the politics of the region. These essays on the dynamics of the South explore competing trajectories of southern presidential politics. For forty years the GOP has dominated national politics when it dominates the South. This book demonstrates why this was true again in 2024. -- Keith Gaddie, Hoffman Chair of the American Ideal, Texas Christian University, USA
The 2024 Presidential Election in the South does an outstanding job extending the careful consideration of the American South in the context of the Presidential election. The bulk of the book consists of careful state chapters that offer rich context, while opening and closing chapters set out broader perspectives. The political and cultural fractures that ended the period of Democratic dominance are seen in this work, located in a more receptive political environment. This work nicely shows the South remains a politically interesting and important feature of American politics. * John M Bruce, University of Mississippi, USA *
