With illustrated title page, halftone illustrations, map; chronology of events, notes, index. Hardcover, red cloth, spine lettered in black, with dust-jacket.
First edition. In late September 1919, black sharecroppers met to protest unfair settlements for their cotton crops from white plantation owners. Local law enforcement broke up the union’s meeting, and the next day a thousand white men from the Delta, and troops of the U.S. Army, hit. This book tells the full story of this incident for the first time. It concludes that black people were murdered in Elaine by white mobs and federal soldiers, and hundreds were jailed, some tortured. “Meticulously researched and compellingly argued, this is the definitive history of the Elaine massacre, the bloodiest race war of the Red Summer of 1919. Deeply enriches our understanding not only of America’s violently racist past, but also of the challenges which that history poses for the future.” ISBN:#1557287171 ISBN:#1 55728 717 1
