Publisher Synopsis
"Pathways to Prohibition skillfully employs case materials from the temperance movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to frame and answer a critical question for social movement theory and research: what accounts for the success or failure of social movements? I believe it will make an important contribution to the field."-Mark Wolfson, author of The Fight against Big Tobacco: The Movement, the State, and the Public's Health "Pathways to Prohibition effectively argues a distinctive claim: moderation is (sometimes) the path to success. This important claim contradicts the value hierarchy in which more radical forms of action are assumed to be morally superior and more effective. Ann-Marie E. Szymanski directs attention to a host of more moderate forms of mobilization in American political history that have been dismissed as irrevocably compromised."-Elisabeth Clemens, author of The People's Lobby: Organizational Innovation and the Rise of Interest Group Politics in the United States, 1890-1925 Read more...
