Malcolm McLaughlin’s work presents a detailed analysis of the East St. Louis race riot in 1917, offering new insights into the construction of white identity and racism. He illuminates the world of East St Louis , life in its factories and neighborhoods, its popular culture, and City Hall politics, to place the race riot in the context of the city’s urban development.
