Oscar Stanton DePriest: Republican Politics, the Strategy of Nonpartisanship, and the Struggle for Civil Rights
Oscar Stanton DePriest was the first African American elected to the House of Representatives in the twentieth century and the first ever from the North. This article revises our understanding of DePriest as more than a notable “first” in so many realms and as more than just a product of Chicago’s notoriously corrupt urban party machine. The Illinois Republican served from 1929 to 1935 and practiced a nonpartisanship that put African Americans’ m…

Conjugal Misconduct: Defying Marriage Law in the Twentieth-Century United States
William Kuby's Conjugal Misconduct discusses how the boundaries of conventional marriage were expanded or defied entirely in the twentieth-century United States. The book addresses exceptional coupling patterns, finding and identifying the broad array of marital nonconformity. None of these types of coupling were practiced by more than a small minority at the time, yet Kuby argues that they reveal the outer limits of coupling patterns. Paying mon…
