In recent years, the South has drawn the attention of all Americans more than any other region of the United States. In many ways, Atlanta, Georgia, is regarded as the most progressive of southern cities. This study seeks to discover some patterns of political influence in that metropolis. Focusing on three groups - those with defined political roles, those who are perceived to be influentials, and those occupying major economic positions - the study attempts to determine, among other objectives, whether there is a ruling elite in Atlanta. By means of data gathered systematically from individuals in the three groups, informal interviews, case studies, and other research techniques, the author demonstrates the degree of political involvement of each group and its influence on several specific community issues. Financial support for this study came from a grant to Frederic Cleaveland of the University of North Carolina from the Governmental Affairs Institute, which was, in turn, sponsoring a series of metropolitan studies underwritten by the Edgar Stern Family Fund.

This book shows how specific agents shape the political character of adolescents, how response to these agents varies according to sex, race, and other factors, and how political learning changes through the life-cycle and across generations. Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
