Publisher's Description of Rage in the Streets (Jules Archer History for Young Readers)

Why do people riot?

From the Boston Massacre in 1770 to the Los Angeles riots of 1992, mob violence in the United States is often sparked by unjust court decisions, unfair taxes, unpopular wars, the fear of unemployment, and racial and ethnic prejudice. But there are also seemingly senseless riots over wild concerts and sports championships. What causes a peacefully assembled crowd to turn into a mindless, violent mob? What causes a police force or militia to lose control?

In this timely, comprehensive overview, Jules Archer describes and explains the causes of mob violence in the United States and suggests that unless we make some basic changes in the nature of our society, the despair and rage that ignite mob violence may always be with us.

This topical history series makes a great add-on to history programs. It gives students the freedom to read about historically accurate events and people throughout U.S. and World History without getting overwhelmed. Jules Archer gives a unique voice and approach to his writing; making it engaging for students to learn and hone their critical thinking skills. Each book is equipped with an index and a bibliography to help facilitate further studies. Some of the content can cover a dark side of history. Content can become mature when exploring dictators, treasonous acts, rage behind the riots, and the circumstances surrounding our countries own laws. There are political cartoons, illustrations, and photographs included throughout the texts that benefit the reader in putting faces to some of the featured personalities. The series provides a helpful glimpse into the state of the U.S. during some of its most tumultuous times. ~Rebecca
