The Plains Political Tradition : Essays on South Dakota Political Culture, Volume 3 Paperback / softback

Edited by John E. Miller, Paula M. Nelson

Part of the Plains Political Tradition series

Paperback / softback

Description

Not all politics is party politics. Nowhere is this fact more apparent than within the boundaries of South Dakota.

Although the state is known for its agrarian conservatism, political tradition in the land of infinite variety is more than simply Republican or Democrat.

An awareness of the influence of culture lies at the core of understanding the decisions of political leaders and voters alike. In this capstone volume of The Plains Political Tradition series, editors Jon K.

Lauck, John E. Miller, and Paula M. Nelson gather essays from historians and other scholars who identify major influences on the political culture of South Dakota.

Against a backdrop of agricultural ups and downs, varied religious beliefs, worldwide conflict, and powerful personalities, the authors examine ingredients critical to the success and failure of civic movements, legislation, and political campaigns and careers.
