Although race riots are usually seen as black events in both the United States and South Africa, they have played a significant role in shaping the concept of whiteness and white power in both nations. This emerges clearly from Smith McKoy's examination of four riots that demonstrate the relationship between the two nations and the apartheid practices that have historically defined them: North Carolina's Wilmington Race Riot of 1898; the Soweto Uprising of 1976; the Los Angeles Rebellion in 1992; and the pre-election riot in Mmabatho, Bhoputhatswana in 1994. Pursuing these events through narratives, media reports, and film, Smith McKoy shows how white racial violence has been disguised by race riots in the political and power structures of both the United States and South Africa. The first transnational study to probe the abiding inclination to "blacken" riots, When Whites Riot unravels the connection between racial violence--both the white and the "raced"--in the United States and South Africa, as well as the social dynamics that this connection sustains. 606 $aWhite people$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRiots$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and race relations$zUnited States 606 $aWhite people$zSouth Africa$xHistory 606 $aRiots$zSouth Africa$xHistory 606 $aRacism$zSouth Africa 606 $aMass media and race relations$zSouth Africa 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aSouth Africa$xRace relations 615 0$aWhite people$xHistory. 615 0$aRiots$xHistory. 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aMass media and race relations 615 0$aWhite people$xHistory. 615 0$aRiots$xHistory. 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aMass media and race relations 676 $a305.800973 700 $aSmith McKoy$b Sheila$01625058 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816884003321 996 $aWhen whites riot$93960339 997 $aUNINA
