In Lisa McGirr’s book The War on Alcohol it is hard for the reader to pinpoint one central thesis. One thesis however, can be simply marked down to the title of one of her chapters entitled “Selective Enforcement.” During the Prohibition period police were cracking down on speakeasies and bootleggers and people smuggling alcohol across state lines. However when police would make these arrests the people being arrested were mostly of minority origins. Although poor whites from the South did get arrested as well, most of the jails and prisons were made up of blacks, hispanics and latinos. McGirr said that “Uneven enforcement was the hidden reason the white, urbane upper-middle class could laugh at the antics of Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith, while Mexicans, poor European immigrants, African-Americans, poor whites in the South, and the unlucky experienced the full brunt of Prohibition enforcement’s deadly reality” (McGirr, 71).

Despite its incarnation over a hundred years ago, it is still just as relevant to today’s society as America still struggles with racial injustice and oppression.

While the issues regarding poverty are addressed in both the books Make Lemonade by Virginia Wolfe and “South of the Slot” by Jack London, each author has a very different view of the life of the lower class.

The book I read for this assignment was Drunkard: Hard Drinking Life, by Neil Steinberg. This book really surprised me in the way it lays out Steinberg’s journey facing his alcohol addiction.
