Abstract

This special issue of The American Review of Politics consists of five papers presented at the 2002 Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, the thirteenth such conference held in Charleston since 1978. The Symposium, codirected by Robert P. Steed, Laurence W. Moreland, and John C. Kuzenski (all of the political science faculty of The Citadel), has become a vital part of the network of scholars who research, write, and publish in the area of southern politics. Over forty papers were presented and discussed at the 2002 Symposium, and they represented a broad range of topics. Special features of the Symposium included a retrospective look at The Transformation of Southern Politics (published a little more than a quarter century ago), conducted by that important volume’s authors, Jack Bass and Walter DeVries, as well as a luncheon address by Merle Black (Asa G. Candler Professor of Politics at Emory University), who discussed “The Rise of Southern Republicans,” drawing on the recently published volume of the same title coauthored by Merle and his brother Earl Black.
