Former U.S. Rep. Glen Browder, D-Ala., will discuss his new book, “The South’s New Racial Politics,” beginning at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, in the Catamount Room of A.K. Hinds University Center at Western Carolina University.
In his book, Browder argues that race continues to be “the most useful, single factor of both analysis and power in the South.” He discusses the use of “stealth politics,” a tactic he employed to respond to black voters without offending his white constituents. His book has received favorable reviews from a number of publications, including Roll Call and the National Journal.
As a political scientist at Jacksonville State University and former member of the Alabama legislature and U.S. House of Representatives, Browder brings both an academic perspective and an insider’s account to race relations in the South, said event organizer Gibbs Knotts, head of the WCU department of political science and public affairs.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Knotts at (828) 227-7475 or via e-mail at gknotts@wcu.edu.
