"[T]he work of a distinguished historian who has written
extensively on labor history and the history of Michigan, Sidney
Fine's study of the Detroit riot of 1967 is the most ambitious and
comprehensive treatment we have of any urban race riot."
"Fine carefully charts the perceptions of blacks themselves, which
are fundamental to understanding the events of 1967 and reflected
in the growing militancy of civil rights and black nationalist
organizations such as the NAACP, the Detroit Urban League, and the
Black Christian Nationalist Movement. . . . According to Fine, the
riot of 1967 had its genesis in the deep-seated grievances of
blacks within the established social order; it also served to
heighten those grievances and deepen the polarization of blacks and
whites."
