"The origins of the Chicago race riot of 1919 are to be found, not in high-level policy, but in gut-level animosities between black and white people who were generally inarticulate and presentist-oriented, and who did not record their motivations or feelings for posterity. . . To explain the Chicago riot, this evidence has to be found; and though such evidence is not abundant by any means, it does exist."--From the preface

Reviews for Race Riot: CHICAGO IN THE RED SUMMER OF 1919
"Tuttle's catalogue of the causes of racial conflict in Chicago sounds depressingly up-to-date."
Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review "Vividly written. A fine study with surprising appeal for the lay reader."
Publishers Weekly "A fascinating and important study, as well researched and written and thought out as any this reviewer has seen in recent years."
Gilbert Osofsky, Journal of American History "One cannot fully understand the Chicago riot of 1919 or, indeed, the post-World War I racial strife without reading this important work."
John Hope Franklin "This book has more lives than a cat because its feet are firmly planted on the bedrock issues of race and class, its analysis goes to the quick of urban-industrial life in the early twentieth century, and its vivid narrative captures the tumultuous riot without ever losing scholarly balance. A quarter century after it was first published, it has still not been excelled."
Alan Dawley, author of Struggles for Justice: Social Responsibility and the Liberal State
