   Review of 'The Emerging Republican Majority' by Kevin Phillips (Sept 21,   
   1969)   
      
   "Full racial polarization is an essential ingredient of Phillip's   
   political pragmatism. He wants to seek a black Democratic party,   
   particularly in the South, because this will drive into the Republican   
   party precisely the kind of anti-Negro whites who will help constitute   
   the emerging majority."

   "Kevin Price Phillips (November 30, 1940 – October 9, 2023) was an   
   American writer and commentator on politics, economics, and history. He   
   emerged as a Republican Party strategist who helped devise its Southern   
   Strategy in the 1960s."
