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. 650 0 $a Prohibition $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 16 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015402.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041328.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010644.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200924014138.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528061200.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021809.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204082259.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110064212.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006092459.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20170118035647.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826043439.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160224010654.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20160210011444.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160127053848.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20160115050920.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151224010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06B385AAAA0C11E595C3B87CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
