It is the compelling story of racial ideologies, southwestern politics, and incendiary journalism, and of an embattled black community's struggle to hold onto its land and freedom. More than just the chronicle of one of the nation's most devastating racial pogroms, this critically acclaimed study of American race relations is, above all, a gripping story of terror and lawlessness, and of courage, heroism, and human perseverance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Ellsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807117676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807117675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.46d","brand":"Scott Ellsworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051087819007,"sku":"9780807117675","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a441770-5ff4-48ff-8b49-622c58d0aa08.jpg?v=1685011017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-in-a-promised-land-scott-ellsworth-9780807117675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
