Contents:
Introduction -- 1. From darkness to sunshine: World War II, race and the emergence of modern Florida -- 2. Moral, simple justice and the emergence of fault lines in the democratic hegemony -- 3. Reubin Askew, Lawton Chilews, and the reinvention of the Democratic Party -- 4. An era of political transition -- 5. Migration of the middle class, the search for community, and the emerging Hispanic presence -- 6. Holding back the Republican tide, but for how long? -- 7. From blue to red: the era of Jeb Bush and Republican hegemony -- 8. The presidential election of 2000: what happened to Florida? -- 9. The politics of the twenty-first century -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: Likely to raise hackles among Democrats and Republicans alike, this dynamic history of modern Florida argues that the Sunshine State has become the political and demographic future of the nation. David Colburn reveals how Florida gradually abandoned the traditions of race and personality that linked it to the Democratic Party. The book focuses particularly on the population growth and chaotic gubernatorial politics that altered the state from 1940, when it was a sleepy impoverished southern outpost, to the present and the emergence of a dominant Republican Party.
