Book Synopsis The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State by : Lisa McGirr
Download or read book The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State written by Lisa McGirr and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[This] fine history of Prohibition . . . could have a major impact on how we read American political history.”—James A. Morone, New York Times Book Review Prohibition has long been portrayed as a “noble experiment” that failed, a newsreel story of glamorous gangsters, flappers, and speakeasies. Now at last Lisa McGirr dismantles this cherished myth to reveal a much more significant history. Prohibition was the seedbed for a pivotal expansion of the federal government, the genesis of our contemporary penal state. Her deeply researched, eye-opening account uncovers patterns of enforcement still familiar today: the war on alcohol was waged disproportionately in African American, immigrant, and poor white communities. Alongside Jim Crow and other discriminatory laws, Prohibition brought coercion into everyday life and even into private homes. Its targets coalesced into an electoral base of urban, working-class voters that propelled FDR to the White House. This outstanding history also reveals a new genome for the activist American state, one that shows the DNA of the right as well as the left. It was Herbert Hoover who built the extensive penal apparatus used by the federal government to combat the crime spawned by Prohibition. The subsequent federal wars on crime, on drugs, and on terror all display the inheritances of the war on alcohol. McGirr shows the powerful American state to be a bipartisan creation, a legacy not only of the New Deal and the Great Society but also of Prohibition and its progeny. The War on Alcohol is history at its best—original, authoritative, and illuminating of our past and its continuing presence today.
Book Synopsis Try to Control Yourself by : Dan Malleck
Download or read book Try to Control Yourself written by Dan Malleck and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-04-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countless authors, historians, journalists, and screenwriters have written about the prohibition era, an age of jazz and speakeasies, gangsters and bootleggers. But only a few have explored what happened when governments turned the taps back on. Dan Malleck shifts the focus to Ontario following repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act, an age when the government struggled to please both the “wets” and the “drys,” the latter a powerful lobby that continued to believe that alcohol consumption posed a terrible social danger. Malleck’s investigation of regulation in six diverse communities reveals that rather than only pandering to temperance forces, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario sought to define and promote manageable drinking spaces in which citizens would learn to follow the rules of proper drinking and foster self-control. The regulation of liquor consumption was a remarkable bureaucratic balancing act between temperance and its detractors but equally between governance and its ideal drinker.
Book Synopsis The American Midwest by : Andrew R. L. Cayton
Download or read book The American Midwest written by Andrew R. L. Cayton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-08 with total page 1918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever encyclopedia of the Midwest seeks to embrace this large and diverse area, to give it voice, and help define its distinctive character. Organized by topic, it encourages readers to reflect upon the region as a whole. Each section moves from the general to the specific, covering broad themes in longer introductory essays, filling in the details in the shorter entries that follow. There are portraits of each of the region's twelve states, followed by entries on society and culture, community and social life, economy and technology, and public life. The book offers a wealth of information about the region's surprising ethnic diversity -- a vast array of foods, languages, styles, religions, and customs -- plus well-informed essays on the region's history, culture and values, and conflicts. A site of ideas and innovations, reforms and revivals, and social and physical extremes, the Midwest emerges as a place of great complexity, signal importance, and continual fascination.

Book Synopsis Drinking In America by : Mark Edward Lender
Download or read book Drinking In America written by Mark Edward Lender and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1987-05-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly revised and updated, this engaging narrative chronicles America’s delight in drink and its simultaneous fight against it for the past 350 years. From Plymouth Rock, 1621, to New York City, 1987, Mark Edward Lender and James Kirby Martin guide readers through the history of drinks and drinkers in America, including how popular reactions to this ubiquitous habit have mirror and helped shape national response to a number of moral and social issues. By 1800, the temperance movement was born, playing a central role in American politics for the next 100 years, equating abstinence with 100-proof Americanism. And today, the authors attest, a “neotemperance” movement seems to be emerging in response to heightened public awareness of the consequences of alcohol abuse.

Excerpt from book: THE WORKING OF PROHIBITION. r I HE abstinence reformers sincerely believed that the law only lacked power; if they could have greater force at their command, then they thought they could abolish the traffic in liquors. This feeling was general among them, and it was not a new discovery, but a practical application of this supposed principle, which Neal Dow accomplished in the famous Maine Law. This was introduced shortly into other States, and became the political shibboleth of the abstinence party. It proceeded against the property as well as the offender under the law, and gave stringent power of seizure. This statute was enacted in Rhode Island in 1852, and it is interesting to review some of the arguments which were used in obtaining it, because they are the same in kind which prevail with the whole party. Amos C. Barstow led the reformers, and we cite from his speech in the Rhode Island House of Representatives, as reported in the Providence Journal: ? We are acting on a petition of 25,000 persons, of whom 11,500 are adult male citizens; they embrace a large part of the moral worth of the State. . . . These petitions bear the names of the learned and excellent President of your University, of ministers of religion, of your physicians, merchants. . . . They represent the industry and the virtue of the State. I beg gentlemen who are preparing amendments to this bill to mark the prayer of these petitions. They want a law to Suppress the rum traffic, ? not to regulate, but to Suppress. They ask for nothing more, and will be content with nothing less. ... I charge the evils of intemperance upon this traffic, ? and for this reason, the appetite is not natural but acquired, and acquired through the temptations presented by this traffic. The only way, therefore, to sto...
