With both an entertainer's eye and a social scientist's rigour, Wayne Parent subjects Louisiana's politics to rational and empirical analysis, seeking and finding coherent reasons for the state's history. He resists resorting to vague hand-waving about “exoticismâ€, while bringing to life the juicy stories that illustrate his points.
