Arkansas politics & government : do the people rule?
"In this full-scale study of Arkansas politics and government, Diana D. Blair spots many encouraging trends: an upsurge in voter registration and participation, the growth of partisan competition, the increasing influence of women and blacks in state and local government, and the state's provision of more, and more varied, public services." -- Back cover
