Publisher's Summary
The latter third of the 20th century was a time of fundamental political transition across the South as increasing numbers of voters began to choose Republican candidates over Democrats. Yet in the 1980s and '90s, reform-focused policymaking - from better schools to improved highways and health care - flourished in Tennessee. This was the work of moderate leaders from both parties who had a capacity to work together "across the aisle".
