The Elaine Massacre and Arkansas : a century of atrocity and resistance, 1819-1919  Cover Image Book Book

The Elaine Massacre and Arkansas : a century of atrocity and resistance, 1819-1919 / edited by Guy Lancaster ; contributors: Richard Buckelew [and nine others].

Summary:

"Even a century later, the Elaine Massacre remains the subject of intense inquiry as historians seek explanations for why the authorities in the Arkansas Delta used such overwhelming violence against a farmer's union, attempt to determine how many dies in the massacre and document their names, and explore how the event shaped the century that followed. However, we cannot fully understand what happened at Elaine without examining the one hundred years leading up to the massacre. The years from 1819, when Arkansas officially became an American territory, to 1919 provide the historical foundation for one of the bloodiest manifestations of racial violence in the United States."-- Back cover.
