Huey Long's Louisiana: State Politics 1920-1952

by Allan P. Sindler

Book Overview

In an attempt to take the subject of Louisiana politics out from under the dominating shadow of Huey Long, the author focuses on the form and content of Louisiana's one-party bifactional politics from 1920 to 1952. The rise of the Long faction is treated within the framework of a continuing movement of class protest originating in 19th-century Louisiana and extending beyond Long's death in 1935.
