Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles
Abu-Lughod, Janet L. (Professor emerita of sociology, Professor emerita of sociology, Northwestern University)
Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles weaves together historical narratives of major riots with the changing contexts in which they have occurred to show how urban space, politics, and economic conditions - not simply an abstract "race conflict" - all structure the form and virulence of urban rebellions. Comparing six major race riots that occurred in the three largest American metropolitan centers, Abu-Lughod draws upon archivalresearch, primary and secondary sources, and field work to reconstruct events - especially for the 1964 Harlem riot and Chicago's 1968 riots where no single study currently exists.
