Race, Space, And Riots In Chicago, New York, And Los Angeles

Attribution
Janet L. Abu-lughod
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2007
Links
Description
Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles weaves together detailed narratives of each riot, placing them in their changing historical contexts and showing how urban space, political regimes, and economic conditions–not simply an abstract “race conflict”–have structured the nature and extent of urban rebellions. A masterful analysis from a renowned urbanist, Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles offers a deeper understanding of past–and future–urban race relations while emphasizing that until persistent racial and economic inequalities are meaningfully resolved, the tensions leading to racial violence will continue to exist in America’s cities and betray our professed democratic values.

A Matter Of Justice : Eisenhower And The Beginning Of The Civil Rights Revolution

Attribution
David A. Nichols
Publication Details
Book, 1st Simon & Schuster hardcover ed, Simon & Schuster, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
- Publisher description
Description
Eisenhower ordered troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce a federal court order desegregating the city’s Central High School, a leading authority on Eisenhower presents an original and engrossing narrative that places Ike and his civil rights policies in dramatically new light. We witness Eisenhower crafting civil rights legislation, deftly building a congressional coalition that passed the first civil rights act in eighty-two years, and maneuvering to avoid a showdown with Orval Faubus, the governor of Arkansas, over desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High. Nichols demonstrates that Eisenhower, though he was a product of his time and its backward racial attitudes, was actually more progressive on civil rights in the 1950s than his predecessor, Harry Truman, and his successors, John F.
