White Violence and Black Response: From Reconstruction to Montgomery
Shapiro's angry book finds white violence endemic to American culture and the basic instrument whites have used to control blacks. Sixties in tone, and filled with detailed indictments, the book shows how white violence burst forth in the rural South and urban North over the past century and how such violence occurred with the knowledge and complicity of the authorities. Its ever-present reality forged black solidarity and commitment to achieving racial justice. This disturbing compendium will arouse complacent readers.
