Introduction: Long, Hot Summers -- An Explosive Mixture -- Harvest of American Racism -- Southern Campus Rebellion -- Urban Uprising -- The Battle for the Streets -- The Apostles of Violence -- The City of Hope -- Epilogue: Dreams Deferred -- List of Abbreviations.

"It seemed at times during the 1960s that America was caught in an unending cycle of violence and disorder. Successive summers from 1964-1968 brought waves of urban unrest, street fighting, looting, and arson to Black communities in cities from Florida to Wisconsin, Maryland to California. In some infamous cases like Watts (1965), Newark (1967), and Detroit (1967), the turmoil lasted for days on end and left devastation in its wake: entire city blocks were reduced to burnt-out ruins and scores of people were killed or injured--mainly by police officers and National Guardsmen as they battled to regain control. This book takes the pivotal year of 1967 as its focus and sets it in the context of the long, hot summers to provide new insights into the meaning of the riots and their legacy. It offers important new findings based on extensive original archival research, including never-before-seen, formerly embargoed and classified government documents and newly released official audio recordings"--

520 2 $a "Shattering glass, stores looted and torched, the flare of Molotov cocktails, the crack of gunfire: these were the sights and sounds that announced the arrival of another long, hot summer. Beginning in Harlem in 1964, the ghetto revolt surged through Watts and Hough in successive years before cresting in 1967 in Newark, Detroit, and scores of other cities across the United States. It plunged Lyndon Johnson's White House into crisis. Liberals called for an expansion of his Great Society reforms to eradicate ghetto poverty and end racial inequality. Conservatives demanded a police crackdown. Meanwhile, Black power spokesmen Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown condoned the revolt and defined the demands of the ghetto as nothing short of revolution. The nation would never be the same again. The Long, Hot Summer of 1967 sets these explosive events in context and explains how they shaped the course of modern American history"-- $c Provided by publisher.
