Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: \"The City Too Busy Moving to Hate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this reappraisal of racial politics in modern America, Kevin Kruse explains the causes and consequences of white flight in Atlanta and elsewhere. Seeking to understand segregationists on their own terms, \u003cem\u003eWhite Flight\u003c\/em\u003e moves past simple stereotypes to explore the meaning of white resistance. In the end, Kruse finds that segregationist resistance, which failed to stop the civil rights movement, nevertheless managed to preserve the world of segregation and even perfect it in subtler and stronger forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChallenging the conventional wisdom that white flight meant nothing more than a literal movement of whites to the suburbs, this book argues that it represented a more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved. In a provocative revision of postwar American history, Kruse demonstrates that traditional elements of modern conservatism, such as hostility to the federal government and faith in free enterprise, underwent important transformations during the postwar struggle over segregation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLikewise, white resistance gave birth to several new conservative causes, like the tax revolt, tuition vouchers, and privatisation of public services. Tracing the journey of southern conservatives from white supremacy to white suburbia, Kruse locates the origins of modern American politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852680515820,"sku":"9780691133867","price":106.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1325813482434.jpg?v=1759159847"},{"product_id":"fault-lines-by-julian-e-zelizer-9781324035541","title":"Fault Lines","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fully updated second edition of their masterful history, leading historians and best-selling authors Kevin M.
