A propos de cet article

Octavo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, map illus. endpapers, top edge red, xiii + 293 pp. Fine in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: As 1954 was the year of civil rights, so 1962 will undoubtedly become known ass the year of reapportionment. The Supreme Court, in a ruling that has shaken the rafters in many a statehouse, decided that federal courts have the authority to step in when there is inequitable representation in state legislatures. This book, dealing with one of the most notable examples of an urban state ruled by rural influences, could not be more timely. Florida has experienced a population shift from two-thirds rural to two-thirds urban in the past forty years. Despite this rising urbanization, the Florida legislature remains dominated by rural representatives, rural interests, and a rural philosophy reflecting the country dweller's ingrained fear and distrust of the cities: the city slicker is out to fleece his simpler but more upright country cousin. As a result of this distrust, any correspondence between legislative action in Florida and the majority will is accidental. In demonstrating the extent of Florida's infection with this political disease, Havard and Beth probe the numerous and varied aspects of the sate legislature's organization and activity and their complicated interrelation. Going beyond the formal organization to its actual operation, they investigate the sociological aspects of the legislature's makeup and operation. Proceeding from the general to the specific in their discussion, the authors present fascinating composite profiles of the legislators themselves. Before a legislative assembly reflecting the experiences and needs of an overwhelming urban population can materialize, the authors conclude, a system of reapportionment must be effected. This book will be of interest to political scientists, to legislators in every state, and especially to "mis-represented" urban voters. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, Political Science, U. S.
