Description
This is a timely and relevant book that will help readers evaluate today's culture and society. The author, Jules Archer, brings in 60 examples along with their various causes, of violent and non-violent protests and riots. In collaboration with artist Lydia J. Hess, each chapter incorporates a beautiful woodcut print to pictorially represent these protests and riots. Archer utilizes relevant news resources and provides room for the reader to add current events to the riot timeline that spans from the birth of our nation to the 1992 riots in Los Angeles. This book would make a great companion read to any current events study or American history course. Pgs. 162 | Hardcover. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Rage in the Streets (Jules Archer History for Young Readers)
Why do people riot?
From the Boston Massacre in 1770 to the Los Angeles riots of 1992, mob violence in the United States is often sparked by unjust court decisions, unfair taxes, unpopular wars, the fear of unemployment, and racial and ethnic prejudice. But there are also seemingly senseless riots over wild concerts and sports championships. What causes a peacefully assembled crowd to turn into a mindless, violent mob? What causes a police force or militia to lose control?
In this timely, comprehensive overview, Jules Archer describes and explains the causes of mob violence in the United States and suggests that unless we make some basic changes in the nature of our society, the despair and rage that ignite mob violence may always be with us.
