Alabama's State and Local Governments

In this thorough revision of the 1975 edition, the author has added material on the 1983 legislative districts, election law changes, black political participation, implementation of the unified judicial system, the 1982 city manager act, campaign finance, and the growth of political action committees, while maintaining the format that made the earlier study so useful. Retained are the careful definition of terms, the explanation of concepts, and the examples that were among the strengths of the first edition.
