Government in the Sunshine State Florida Since Statehood
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ Pr of Florida
- Publish date: 02/01/1999
Florida's heritage has been shaped by Native American and Spanish roots, colonial ties to Great Britain, a Deep South culture marked by racial strife and the Civil War, and, most recently, economic and immigration dynamics that link it to the Sunbelt States, the Caribbean, and South America. These richly diverse ethnic, racial, and regional influences combine to make Florida politics complex, contradictory, occasionally bizarre, but seldom dull.
Addressing how all this diversity has shaped government, and what it means for the twenty-first century, the author's offer a concise, readable history of Florida's political development over the last 150 years and of the issues facing the state today -- information essential to all Floridians, including new voters, new residents, and newly elected officials, as well as seasoned political observers.
