| Summary: | Studies of temperance and prohibition as well as the broader subject of drugs and alcohol have emerged steadily in recent years. Race, gender, class, religion, and politics all intersect over the liquor question and these combinations provide rich material from which to ask questions about the past. And though the subjects of race and religion in the Jim Crow Era are well-trodden by historians, Brendan J.J. Payne’s insightful new book provides important details yet undiscovered. The book’s scope, which includes quieter or less heard voices in the prohibition debate, allows readers to understand how the liquor question transformed religious and racial politics between the 1880s and 1930s. The result is the most comprehensive and authoritative examination of prohibition in the South to date. |
