"The phenomenal growth of minority populations in the U.S. South is quickly transforming the region's politics. Most political observers see the Democratic Party rising in the region, with increasingly Democratic-leaning women voters joining emergent populations of Asian and Latino voters and African American voters. Some argue that demography is destiny, and yet the analyses presented in The Changing Political South demonstrate little such certainty about the future competitiveness of the two major parties in the South.

Authors Charles S. Bullock, III, Susan A. MacManus, Jeremy D. Mayer, and Mark J. Rozell substantiate the idea of strong and persistent Democratic leanings among Black voters and a majority of women. However, they find that the rising minority populations' votes are increasingly ""up for grabs"" by the two major parties. How the two parties fare in the future of Southern politics will be driven largely by their abilities to reach these new voters."

Reviews for The Changing Political South: How Minorities and Women are Transforming the Region

"There are many articles touching on changes to the modern southern electorate, but we do not see much out there that is this comprehensive by examining the three major minority groups in the South (Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics) plus the growing political influence of women. In a remarkably changing contemporary South, this book gives readers the most current lay of the land."" Seth C. McKee, Oklahoma State University This book tells readers everything they need to know about the current political occurrences in the American South. I only regret that I didn't write it, look forward to using it in my classes, and will definitely use it as a resource for my next project."" Sharon D. Wright Austin, The University of Florida"
