Reviews

Not only illuminates an aspect of the 1920s that has not received sufficient attention but, in doing so, it also propounds a provocative thesis that historians will need to address. -- Nicholas Burckel History 2005 Gidlow's topic is a timely one. Her account of the largely forgotten GOTV campaigns of the 1920s may carry lessons for the present era. -- Nikki Mandell American Historical Review 2005 Gidlow's... observations are helpful for serious students of marketing and political science. Minneapolis Star Tribune 2004 Gidlow has achieved much, giving us a new understanding of political cultures and how they are created and transformed. No one should henceforth assume that Get Out the Vote campaigns are innocuous. -- Gayle Gullett Journal of American History 2006
