Abstract

This is a study of the 1977-78 redistricting of the Mississippi State Legislature. It was a process that saw the culmination of a struggle between the civil rights forces and the "Establishment" in Mississippi, but its origins span almost the entire period of the "reapportionment revolution" in the United States.
