Darren Dochuk on the Southern California Christian Right
The saga of the Christian right is often told as a horror story of
southern fanaticism escaping from the rural churches of Dixie and
infecting the politics and culture of a sometimes uncomprehending
country. Less well known is the history of conservative Christians who
made Southern California their home, and who came to have as profound
an impact on the emerging Sun Belt and its conservative approach to
God and country as their brethren in the Deep South itself.

In his new book, From Bible Belt to Sun Belt: Plain-Folk Religion,
Grassroots Politics, and the Rise of Evangelical Conservatism, Purdue
University history professor Darren Dochuk tells the tale of southern
migrants (mainly from the freewheeling states of the “western South”
such as Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma) who flooded into the Los
Angeles area before and after World War II
