In Lincoln's Shadow: The 1908 Race Riot in Springfield, IllinoisSIU Press, 29.08.2008 - 264 Seiten Winner of the Gustavus Myers Center Award for the Study of Human Rights in the United States! Author Roberta Senechal de la Roche draws from a wide range of sources to describe the riot, identify the rioters and their victims, and challenge previous interpretations that attribute rioting to interracial competition for jobs, housing, or political influence. Written in a direct and clear style, In Lincoln’s Shadow documents a violent explosion of racial hatred that shocked the nation and reveals the complexity of white racial attitudes in the early twentieth century. |
