Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South

Cover

Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South POLITICS AND CULTURE IN MODERN AMERICA series editors Glenda Gilmore, Michael Kazin, and Thomas J. Sugrue Volumes in the series narrate and analyze political and social change in the broadest dimensions from 1865 to the present, including ideas about the ways people have sought and wielded power in the public sphere and the language and institutions of politics at all levels—local, national, and transnational. The series is motivated by a desire to reverse the fragmentation of modern U.S. history and to encourage synthetic perspectives on social movements and the state, on gender, race, and labor, and on intellectual history and popular culture.
