Race Riots and Resistance uncovers a long-hidden, tragic chapter of
American history. Focusing on the «Red Summer of 1919 in which
black communities were targeted by white mobs, the book examines
the contexts out of which white racial violence arose. It shows how
the riots transcended any particularity of cause, and in doing so
calls into question many longstanding beliefs about racial
violence. The book goes on to portray the riots as a phenomenon,
documenting the number of incidents, describing the events in
detail, and analyzing the patterns that emerge from looking at the
riots collectively. Finally and significantly, Race Riots and
Resistance argues that the response to the riots marked an early
stage of what came to be known as the Civil Rights Movement.
