Abstract:

This comprehensive history of America in the 1920s presents the decade's most compelling controversies as precursors to today's culture wars.

• Provides relevant political information on red states and blue states, immigration reform, the war on drugs and mass incarceration, the politics of women's bodies, and the Religious Right

• Includes an epilogue that makes clear connections between the culture wars of the 1920s and issues we continue to debate today
