{"product_id":"fighting-in-the-streets-max-arthur-herman-9780820474557","title":"Fighting in the Streets: Ethnic Succession and Urban Unrest in Twentieth-Century America","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFighting in the Streets\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comparative analysis of some of the most severe episodes of urban unrest that took place in twentieth-century America, including the 1919 Chicago Riot, the 1943 Detroit Riot, the 1967 Newark and Detroit Riots, the 1980 Miami Riot, and the 1992 Los Angeles Riot. Examining the patterns of death and destruction of property that occurred during these events, as well as historical evidence regarding struggles for housing, jobs, and political power among members of different racial\/ethnic groups, this book makes the case for a general explanatory model of urban unrest as a product of rapid demographic change. Focusing at the neighborhood level, where demographic changes have their greatest impact, \u003ci\u003eFighting in the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e posits that riot-related violence is most likely to take place in neighborhoods characterized by high levels of black\/white segregation, poverty, unemployment, and rapid population turnover. Such a \"profile\" of the riot-prone neighborhood may enable policy makers to avert future violence through targeted economic and political intervention, such as building community institutions that integrate newcomers and natives. This book is particularly suited for classes in urban studies, race\/ethnic relations, and collective behavior\/social movements as well as public policy and planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Arthur Herman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082047455X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820474557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Max Arthur Herman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441364939007,"sku":"9780820474557","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfced621-9c56-4568-8da4-a57ef8a58ab9.jpg?v=1777190425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-in-the-streets-max-arthur-herman-9780820474557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
