Editorial Reviews

"The topic is compelling and important. . . . a page-turner, indeed an often horrifying one . . . it has great potential to greatly expanding our understanding of race, racial violence, and racial politics in the early twentieth century."--Cary D. Wintz, Texas Southern University
