U.S. Race Riots Around The Time Of World War I
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper which discusses the numerous riots that occurred between 1915-1919. While most people are familiar with racial rioting such as those which occurred during the 1960s the writer demonstrates how riots between 1915 to 1919 were fundamentally different from those in the 60s. Sixties riots were characterized by violence which was primarily directed against property. The riots in the early part of this century were characterized by violence directed toward people. They were bloody and brutal-partly because African Americans were finally fighting back. Bibliography contains 6 sources.

The report postulates that the book itself was less about America's reaction to the war, as much as it was about how politics shaped the cultural mores of the time.
