by Susan Olzak (Author)
This analysis of the causes of racial and ethnic conflict in American cities between 1877-1914 presents evidence that suggests that the explanation for ethnic unrest is to be found in competition processes.
Back Jacket
Susan Olzak promises a great deal in this book and delivers even more. She makes strong hypothetical claims derived from rich theoretical arguments, develops elegant empirical tests of them, and quite cautiously fashions conclusions out of the pattern of results. The book provides a remarkably coherent model for studying ethnic conflict. . . . With this superb monograph Susan Olzak establishes a niche for herself among the best scholars of ethnic conflict and collective action.--American Journal of Sociology
