Description

First impressions of the political landscape in South Dakota have a tendency towards an assumption of hard-line conservatism, and yet this type of conclusion barely scratches the skin of what constitutes political tradition within the Mount Rushmore State.Editors Jon K. Lauck, John E. Miller, and Donald C. Simmons, Jr., have drawn together twelve essays on disparate topics to be able to believe the state’s underlying political culture. Every essay addresses an aspect of history, politics, or art, subtly exposing the contradictory nature of South Dakotans and elucidating the various elements that comprise the larger political tradition. Scholars from across the country believe topics such as war and peace, literature, environmentalism, the American Indian Movement, left-wing and liberal politics, immigration, and defeat. With Every essay, the discussion builds upon itself, allowing the reader to develop a fuller sense of where South Dakota fits into the growing study of political culture in brand new society.
