Phillips (read 21 June 1970) This is an intriguing study of voting trends. I happen to not believe that the Republican Party is the emerging national majority, but the book marshals a formidable army of facts to support its thesis. I suppose the main argument I have is the book's assumption that Wallace votes will go Republican next time. Further, it is clear that issues determine things, and the Republican policies I believe will thwart the trends the book sees. But the analysis is perceptive and much of what it says makes sense. I have little quarrel with its analysis of the past. The projections are another story. A fascinating study. [These remarks were made to myself right after reading the book--they seem of doubtful validity to me now.] ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
One of the most important and controversial books in modern American politics, The Emerging Republican Majority (1969) explained how Richard Nixon won the White House in 1968-and why the Republicans would go on to dominate presidential politics for the next quarter century. Rightly or wrongly, the book has widely been seen as a blueprint for how Republicans, using the so-called Southern Strategy, could build a durable winning coalition in presidential elections. Certainly, Nixon's election marked the end of a "New Deal Democratic hegemony" and the beginning of a conservative realignment encompassing historically Democratic voters from the South and the Florida-to-California "Sun Belt," in the book's enduring coinage. In accounting for that shift, Kevin Phillips showed how two decades and more of social and political changes had created enormous opportunities for a resurgent conservative Republican Party. For this new edition, Phillips has written a preface describing his view of the book, its reception, and how its analysis was borne out in subsequent elections. A work whose legacy and influence are still fiercely debated, The Emerging Republican Majority is essential reading for anyone interested in American politics or history.
