This article describes the riots that took place in El Barrio, New York in July 1967. Unlike riots in other cities, little looting or burning took place in El Barrio. The fact that mostly teenagers and only a few adults participated in the more ferocious encounters can be explained by a theory that civil rights confrontations have given violence-prone youth in the ghettos a sense of solidarity with those in their neighborhoods they might have attacked, by setting up the concept of the white power structure, a new target at which to aim hostility.
