add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Race Riot," by Alfred McClung Lee and Norman Daymond Humphrey. The book is divided into three parts. The first part shows in a vivid manner the role of demagogues who play upon nervous tensions and prejudices in race riots and costs of rioting in terms of individual insecurity, the cessation of forward-looking movements and the degradation of democracy. The six chapters of the second part contain a well-documented chronological account of the riot, a description of the manner in which it was handled and an analysis of its social and economic causes.
