Material type: ArticlePublisher: 2001British Journal of Political Science 31, 2, p. 277-301Abstract: Many scholars and pundits believe that the 1964 presidential election between Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson disrupted the New Deal order and ushered in a sixth party system anchored in part by race issues. But curiously, the conventional wisdom has not fared well empirically. In this article, I employ disaggregated survey data and novel methodological tools to identify temporal patterns in the relationships between partisanship. New Deal issues and race issues. My conclusions are as follows: (1)the association between race issues and partisanship has switched signs in the South;(2) a racial axis of cleavage has opened up outside the South; (3) the New Deal issue axis has grown in the South; and (4) New Deal issues continue to cleave partisans outside the SouthItem type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
