"The origins of the Chicago race riot of 1919 are to be found, not in high-level policy, but in gut-level animosities between black and white people who were generally inarticulate and presentist-oriented, and who did not record their motivations or feelings for posterity. . . To explain the Chicago riot, this evidence has to be found; and though such evidence is not abundant by any means, it does exist."--From the preface Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The author makes no mention on the stigmatization of whites versus the Eastern Europeans, the fact that the unemployment rate had jumped from 2% to 5% in less than one year, that 100's of thousands of veterans joined the labor force or that the labor market was in the midst of a rapid change from agricultural to industrial. None of these things get mentioned. I felt that the book set out to prove only one thing - That the blacks, yet again, got the short end of the stick thru no fault of their own. I had hoped for much better ( )
