But once prohibition hit America, American Jews were forced to choose between abandoning their historical connection to alcohol and remaining outside the American mainstream.In Jews and Booze, Marni Davis examines American Jews? long and complicated relationship to alcohol during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the years of the national prohibition movement?s rise and fall. Bringing to bear an extensive range of archival materials, Davis offers a novel perspective on a previously unstudied area of American Jewish economic activity?the making and selling of liquor, wine, and beer?and reveals that alcohol commerce played a crucial role in Jewish immigrant acculturation and the growth of Jewish communities in the United States. But prohibition?s triumph cast a pall on American Jews? history in the alcohol trade, forcing them to revise, clarify, and defend their communal and civic identities, both to their fellow Americans and to themselves. 410 0$aGoldstein-Goren series in American Jewish history. 606 $aJews$xAlcohol use$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aAlcoholic beverage industry$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAlcoholic beverage industry$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAlcohol$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xAlcohol use$xAttitudes. 615 0$aAlcoholic beverage industry$xHistory 615 0$aAlcoholic beverage industry$xHistory 615 0$aAlcohol$xLaw and legislation 676 $a363.4/1089924073 700 $aDavis$b Marni$01026357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457242803321 996 $aJews and booze$92441231 997 $aUNINA
