Joseph Gusfield's ;Symbolic Crusade;. This paper reviews Joseph Gusfield's In Symbolic Crusade: Status Politics and the American Temperance Movement. The paper examines how Gusfield sees the Temperance movement as an effort of moral reform motivated by political and social issues. Temperance is seen as a protest against a changing status system and a means by which one group tried to nurture its own power. This theme is examined in the context of Michel Foucault's views on the cultural conflict over sexuality. Foucault's interpretation very much confirms Gusfield's. 3 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
