Race Riot: Chicago in the Red Summer of 1919 (Blacks in the New World)
"This book has more lives than a cat because its feet are firmly planted on the bedrock issues of race and class, its analysis goes to the quick of urban-industrial life in the early twentieth century, and its vivid narrative captures the tumultuous riot without ever losing scholarly balance." -- Alan Dawley, author of Struggles for Justice. "An important contribution to the history of American violence." -- Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review
