In 1919, award-winning poet Eve L. Ewing recovers the essentially
human stories at the heart of the Chicago Race Riot of 1919: of the
people who took part in it, and of the lives that were marked by
it. This most intense of the riots of the USA's 'Red Summer' lasted
eight days, resulting in thirty-eight deaths and almost 500
injuries; it was a signal and traumatic event which has now shaped
the history of the city where it took place for a century. As well
as telling the tale of the riot itself and the cruel murder which
precipitated it, the poems of 1919 explore its aftermath and bring
to vivid life the mass migrations which had set the stage for this
violence in the preceding years. Poetically recounting the stories
of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the city, and
using speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to reimagine history, the
result is a book which unearths the universal at the heart of the
particular, and illuminates the fine line between past and present.
