Riots and Ruins

Résumé du livre

"The thesis of Riots and Ruins is simple. It says that the elements of inter-racial hatred are rife in this country. These smouldering fires are fanned into violent fury now and then, and riots break out. People of both races suffer, and the total of American progress is thrown back centuries. It also says the reasons are clear and easily set down. Black and white men can read them and know them. The grounds for a mutual working out of the differences between the races can be laid--if either race 'has a mind to work'"--Introduction by Ben Richardson, page x.
