Parent’s main theme is that Louisiana’s ethnic mix, natural resources, and geography define a culture that in turn produces its unique political theater. He gives special attention to immigration patterns and Louisiana’s abundant supply of oil and gas as well as the fascinating variations in political temperaments in different parts of the state. Most important, the author believes that Louisiana’s unusual legal system, odd election rules, overwrought constitutional history, convoluted voting patterns, and unmatched record of political corruption are concrete peculiarities that deserve thorough and concise explanation. He delivers just that, while at the same time he interprets signs of change in the offing.
Rich in historical facts, gripping tales, and comparative data, Wayne Parent’s primer on Louisiana politics will satisfy anyone agog at the state’s saga.
