The Atlanta Riot: Race, Class, and Violence in a New Southern City. By Gregory Mixon (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2005. xi plus 197 pp.).

In a slim volume of less than 200 pages, Gregory Mixon has constructed an excellent account of the sequence of events that led to the Atlanta riot of 1906. This terse study provides more than a stimulating description of the familiar events surrounding that famous riot for he has produced a long-awaited explanation of the origins of the bloody event. The author marvellously succeeds in developing overarching themes and challenging interpretations. In the process, he succeeds in placing that tragic event in the larger context of American riots of the late nineteenth and early twenty centuries and relates it to the particular politics of the New South.
