Résumé : |
Levy's framing of these moments of violence as a 'Great Uprising' is nothing short of brilliant. He has truly crafted an illuminating narrative synthesis of these moments of violence, one that eschews ideologically-driven analyses, which, for far too long, have dominated the place of these urban uprisings in post-WWII US history. I have been dreaming about a book like this one for years, wishing one existed for me to assign to my classes. Finally, Levy has given it to me in one, well-written volume.'
