Abstract

If the problem of race is the “American dilemma,” as the Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal argued in a classic 1944 study, North Carolina’s response to this dilemma presents a complex puzzle. Unlike other states of the old Confederacy, North Carolina has a long tradition of reform in education, labor, business, and voting rights. North Carolina also has robust competition between Republicans and Democrats. Because of this competition, both parties have battled intensely over voting rights.
