| Zusammenfassung: | Machine generated contents note: Introduction: what is the Sunbelt... and why is it important? 1. Convergence, metropolitanization, and anticommunism; 2. Race, rights, and the liberal consensus; 3. Wars against liberalism; 4. Southern, suburban, and Sunbelt strategies; 5. Mobilizing the religious right in the politicized 'Bible Belt'; 6.

"This book analyzes the political culture of the American Sunbelt since the end of World War II. It highlights and explains the Sunbelt's emergence during the second half of the twentieth century as the undisputed geographic epicenter for conservative Republican power in the United States.
