  • Prohibition

    W J RorabaughBOOKProhibition2020

    Prohibition: A Very Short Introduction traces the origins of prohibition back to the evangelical-based voluntary abstinence temperance movement in the early 1800s. It makes clear that public support for prohibition collapsed due to gangster violence and the need for local, state, and federal government alcohol revenue during the Great Depression. Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After …

  • The Trials of Psychedelic Therapy

    Open AccessW J RorabaughARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    Many authors, including Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain, Jay Stevens, and most recently Don Lattin and Stephen Siff, have discussed the use of lysergic acid diethylamide (Lsd) in the United States. Their works emphasize the widespread craze for recreational Lsd during the late 1960s. Matthew Oram has a different purpose. His carefully researched and insightful book tackles how serious medical investigators handled Lsd. From 1950 to well into the 1…

  • In Thought and Action

    W J RorabaughARTICLEJournal of American History2012

    In December 1968 S. I. Hayakawa, the interim president of San Francisco State College, gained fame when he pulled the wires from the loudspeakers on a protester's truck during a student strike. Television cameras caught the moment on tape. The president's action stunned the demonstrators, who expected administrators to be timid. To understand Hayakawa's bold move, it is worth knowing that his hobby was fencing. He never walked away from a fight, …

  • Critical Perspectives

    Open AccessW J RorabaughARTICLEJournal of Policy History2005Referências: 1

    During the past generation the South largely has abandoned its traditional commitment to the Democratic Party and emerged as an increasingly strong bastion of the Republican party. In 2004, George Bush won 58 percent in the South but only 48 percent in the rest of the country. (Throughout this article the South is defined as the former Confederate states plus Kentucky and Oklahoma.) In contrast, as recently as 1960, John Kennedy carried the South…

    The founding fathers laid down a number of principles for successful governance in the new republic. Among these, in the formal sense, were written constitutions, the division of power among three branches of government, checks and balances to prevent abuse of power, the rule of law, and equality before the law. Most of these ideas were English in origin and had been practiced, in varying degrees, in the colonies. The failure of the colonial poli…

    Open AccessW J RorabaughARTICLEJournal of Policy History1996Referências: 36

    In the 1960s three major sociopolitical movements, the New Left, Black Power, and feminism, arose in the United States. All three represented assaults on older ideas about the nature of authority, especially as expressed in a hierarchical fashion, all attached a premium to a sense of community, which was defined narrowly to include only members of each group, and all actively sought empowerment for themselves. The present essay examines this matr…

    W J Rorabaugh, Robert NisbetARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly1994Citada por: 6

    The University of California at Berkeley is today best known as a great research center and popularly remembered as a locus of campus unrest in 1960s. This memoir by eminent sociologist and historian of ideas Robert Nisbet views Berkeley from a different perspective. Teachers and Scholars is a fascinating picture of Berkeley as it was a half a century ago in its move to become most important center of learning west of Mississippi. Nisbet recounts…

  • The Meaning of the Civil War

    W J Rorabaugh, Maris A Vinovskis et al.ARTICLEReviews in American History1993

    The Civil War lasted four years; the debate over its meaning and significance continues. During the last century and in the first part of this one the discussion oscillated between those who saw the war, often in moral terms, as the working out of the end of slavery and those who praised the triumph of constitutional government. In 1927 Charles and Mary Beard called the war the Second American Revolution, soon others argued that a blundering gene…

Young, single female factory operatives earned three times as much as their married co-workers, who continued to work at home as hand binders.
