Fifty years ago, familiar images of the lottery would have been
strange, as no state lottery existed then. Few researchers have
uncovered the obscure role lotteries play in the changing
composition of American taxation. Even less is known about what
role race plays in this process. More than simply taxing those on
the social margins, the emergence of state lotteries in
contemporary American history represents something much more
fundamental about state fiscal policy. This book not only uncovers
the underlying racial factors that contextualize lottery
proliferation in the U.S., but also reveals the racial consequences
that lotteries have in terms of redistributing tax liability.
