Contents The structuring of Southern voter turnout -- North Carolina Democratic politics and society in the 1880s : Democratic control through localism -- Making and blocking Republican power -- The demise of Democratic localism and the rise of Populism -- The failed alternatives to Democratic rule : movement-party disjunctions in Populism -- Democrats transformed, democracy undone.
Summary "In this work, Kent Redding examines the fluid political landscape of the nineteenth-century South, revealing the complex interplay between the elites' manipulation of political and racial identity and the innovative mobilizing strategies marginalized groups adopted to combat disfranchisement." "Redding reveals how the ruling class operated with motivations and methods very similar to those of the black voters and Populist farmers they fought against. He deftly tracks how the elites co-opted the innovative mobilizing strategies of the subaltern groups to effectively use their own weapons against them."--Jacket
