Omschrijving
Riot Zone presents a compelling forensic microhistory of the racial violence that exploded in Chicago starting on July 27, 1919, when a Black teenager named Eugene Williams drowned in Lake Michigan after white beachgoers attacked him as he swam with friends. In the days that followed, white gang members terrorized African Americans on the city's South Side and Black Chicagoans armed and defended themselves in response. By the end of the first week of August, when the rioting finally ended, thirty-eight Chicagoans lay dead and hundreds nursed injuries as a result of what became known as America's "Red Summer."
The late Christopher Lamberti, with the help of editor Sean Dinces, recounts this sobering history using GIS software to map what occurred. The authors revisit and debunk ideas about the role race and ethnicity played in the riot and its aftermath, showing how the politics of housing and racial conflicts over residential space set the stage for the riots that ensued.
With insights that echo in today's conflicts, Riot Zone proves that there is still plenty to learn about the history of America's ongoing struggle with urban and racial violence.
