The Memorial Day Massacre: violence, repression and the US Labour Movement

Newsinger, J (2015) 'The Memorial Day Massacre: violence, repression and the US Labour Movement.' In: Flett, K, ed. A history of riots. Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle, pp. 59-76. ISBN 9781443870818

Abstract

The contributors to 'A History of Riots' probe various aspects of riots in order to examine the historical issues and concerns that motivate them and dictate their course and to better understand why they take place in the current day. John Newsinger offers a different perspective: not a riot inspired by the crowd or the ‘mob’, as media commentators persist in naming protesters, but one driven by authority, a police riot in the US in the 1930s.
