Sommario/riassunto

This book introduces the intrepid temperance advocates who formed America's longest-living minor political party - the Prohibition Party - drawing on the party's history to illuminate how American politics came to exclude minor parties from governance. Lisa M. F. Andersen traces the influence of pressure groups and ballot reforms, arguing that these innovations created a threshold for organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial and personal resources from parties already lacking in both. More than most other minor parties, the Prohibition Party resisted an encroaching Democratic-Republican stranglehold over governance. When Prohibitionists found themselves



excluded from elections, they devised a variety of tactics: they occupied saloons, pressed lawsuits, forged utopian communities, and organized dry consumers to solicit alcohol-free products.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the meaning of life for Israelis living along the Gaza border before and after October 7th. It brings together residents’ personal stories and photographs, alongside their creative social media posts. This second edition builds on a groundbreaking longitudinal study conducted between 2018 and 2021, which examined how people made sense of their lives after two decades of ongoing conflict. Now expanded with new research carried out in the wake of the Hamas terror attack on October 7th, it offers a powerful comparison of how life in this region has been experienced and understood across two defining periods. Drawing on theories from social psychology and peacebuilding, the book weaves together a compelling narrative and visual portrait of Jewish-Israeli men and women living near the border. It also explores how their perceptions and emotions have shifted over time—regarding patriotism and Zionism, their Gazan neighbors, and their hopes and fears for the future at personal, family, community, regional, and national levels. Julia Chaitin, PhD in social psychology, is an Emerita from the Sapir College, Israel, with expertise in qualitative research and peacebuilding. She has researched the Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for 35 years, published 10 books and 70 articles, and is dedicated to creating peace within Israel and between Israel and its neighbors. Sharon Steinberg, PhD in epidemiology, is a senior lecturer at the Kaye Academic College of Education, Israel, with an expertise in research methods. Her research focuses on narratives, conflict, and inclusive classrooms. She is a member of the college resilience center and research ethics committee and dedicated to promoting coexistence. Elad Avlagon holds a BA in Social Work with expertise in qualitative research. As a social worker, he focused on older people and people living in poverty. Elad has a strong passion for research and has explored various topics, including surrogate partners, relationships between development towns and kibbutz communities in Israel and peacebuilding. Shoshana Steinberg, PhD in social psychology, is an Emerita from the Kaye Academic College of Education, Israel. She teaches in the Conflict Management and Resolution Program at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her work focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, inter-group relations, narratives, dialogue, conflict resolution, peacebuilding and peace education.
