Savage Song - Racist Violence Armed Resistance in Early Twentieth Century

This book examines key moments of violent social unrest in the twentieth-century United States. Investigating the centrality of constructions of gender to American racism, it asks how African and Mexican American men responded to the violence of racism, and how their resistance was understood by law enforcement, politicians, and press.
