| Summary |
""The New Dominion" analyzes the key Virginia elections that shaped the political Virginia of today. Whereas many observers tend to see the rising Blue Virginia to be the result of very recent and rapid demographic changes, the editors and contributors argue that the process of the political transformation of the Commonwealth has its roots in the twentieth centuries' critical elections. As each contributor analyzes significant twentieth-century political moments and elections, with essays building on one another and moving the story forward in chronological order, from the 1920s to today, the result is a detailed and comprehensive overview of the Commonwealth's political evolution over the past 100 years"-- Provided by publisher |
