• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, perhaps the most lethal and financially devastating instance of collective violence in early twentieth-century America. The Greenwood district, a comparably prosperous black community spanning thirty-five city blocks, was set afire and destroyed by white rioters. This work analyzes the massacre from a sociological perspective, extending an integrative approach to studying its causes, the organizational responses that followed, and the complicated legacy that remains. Chris M. Messer is Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Anthropology at Colorado State University-Pueblo, USA. His research has appeared in outlets such as American Journal of Sociology and Economics, Sociology of Race & Ethnicity, Rural Sociology, and Journal of Black Studies . He is also a co-author of The Enduring Color Line inU.S. Athletics (2013).
