More about the book

Focusing on the critique of societal attitudes towards personal behavior, this book examines the historical context of America's relationship with repression, particularly through the lens of the Republican strategy on sin that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. It challenges prevailing narratives in media and political discourse about the dangers of personal choices, offering a fresh perspective on the cultural implications of temperance and moral judgment in contemporary society.
