Schickler, E. (2016). Racial Realignment: The Transformation of American Liberalism, 1932–1965. Princeton: Princeton University Press. doi:10.23943/princeton/9780691153872.001.0001.

Not read: no lawful copy was reached on 2026-10-22 (see the status note). The summary is drawn from the publisher’s description and what the book is standardly cited for, and a reading should check it first. The publisher’s description says the alignment of Democratic partisanship, economic liberalism and civil-rights support “had crystallized in public opinion, state parties, and Congress by the mid-1940s”, and that top party leaders “were actually among the last to move”; the summary’s “from the late 1930s” is not checked.

Why this is here

The owner proposed party realignment, and political orientations that outlast the organizations carrying them, as cases (U29, U30). The replies used Schickler to separate a party’s institutional continuity from its coalitional character. The case is CASE-133.
