Nut Country: Right-Wing Dallas and the Birth of the Southern Strategy by Edward H. Miller (review)

Sylvester Blackwell. Chapter 6 examines the revival of the United Klans of America in 1974, followed by a detailed look in chapter 7 at the felony extortion charges filed against Matthews and Brooks for allegedly inciting a riot during demonstrations at the Escambia County sheriff ’s department in 1975. Butler also explores increasing tensions among civil rights leaders as the national NAACP distanced itself fromMatthews because of his militant leadership style and inflammatory rhetoric. As Butler contends, the guilty verdict against both men, with Matthews receiving a much harsher sentence, underscored the problems with top-down leadership because the movement was paralyzed after their convictions. The final three chapters of the book cover the 1976 riot at EHS, the impact of the declining national civil rights organizations on the local chapters, and ongoing racial disparities in various areas ranging from neighborhood blight to high unemployment in black communities. Although Butler presents a robust and persuasive argument, the narrative appears a little choppy in areas where he moves back and forth between key themes. Providing more historical context of the Black Power movement would have shed more light on the evolution of the local struggle in Escambia County. Nonetheless, Beyond Integration reconceptualizes narrow and simplistic accounts of the movement that often obscure its contradictions or complexities.
