White Voters in 21st Century America

The United States is experiencing remarkable demographic changes that are having an important impact on the American electorate. As the minority share of the voting-eligible population continues to grow, the political clout of non-Hispanic whites will further decline. The 2012 election demonstrated that the Democratic Party can secure an Electoral College victory even when it loses badly, in the aggregate, among non-Hispanic whites. This does not mean that white voters are unimportant, however. The political behavior of whites in the decades ahead will largely determine the direction of American politics.

This book examines the political behavior of non-Hispanic whites. It considers the trends within the white vote, how white voters differ geographically, and the primary fault lines among white voters. It also examines how white political behavior changes in response to diversity. It considers whether or not the day is approaching when whites consolidate into a largely homogeneous voting bloc, or whether whites will remain politically heterogeneous in the decades ahead.

Whereas other books have examined the political behavior of specific social classes within the non-Hispanic white community (working-class whites, for example), this is the first book to examine whites as a whole and to provide a useful summary of recent trends within this group and thoughtful speculation about its future.

George Hawley is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Alabama. His research interests include demography, electoral behavior, political parties, immigration policy, and the U.S. Congress.

While it deals with a decidedly different topic, this book was a natural extension of my doctoral dissertation and my previous book, Voting and Migration Patterns in the U.S . While working on that project, it became apparent that in many ways the migratory patternsand the political consequences of those migratory patternsof non-Hispanic whites were decidedly different from other groups within the American electorate. This increased my curiosity about white voter behavior, and while preparing my previous book manuscript I began to think of new questions. While I initially planned to write a series of discrete articles on similar subjects, it soon became apparent that each of my new questions fit within a single theme and therefore should be considered in a single volume.

Because this work immediately followed my previous book, I wish to thank many of the same people. Members of my dissertation committee, which included Richard Murray, Jeronimo Cortina, and Jennifer Clark of the University of Houston, and James Gimpel of the University of Maryland, have all been vital to my development as a scholar. I also thank my former colleagues at the University of Houston Honors College, Jacqueline Hunsicker and Jeremy Bailey.

I am also grateful to new colleagues who have been tremendously helpful. I am thankful to Richard Fording, chair of the Political Science Department at the University of Alabama, for negotiating my summer research funding in 2013.

I am grateful to Rick and Leslie Whiston for their generosity during the summer of 2013. Without their kindness and support, this book would have taken considerably longer to complete. I am also grateful to Arlene DiPietro, who exhibited incredible patience and generosity during a very difficult time for our family. Stan Evans was also a major source of encouragement. My parents have also been an important source of support throughout my intellectual development.
