Résumé:From the food uprisings in the early 1700s to the notorious anti-busing riots in the mid-1970s, incidents of communal social violence have played a significant role in Boston's history.

Originally published by Northeastern University Press in 2001. With a new foreword by Gordana Rabrenovic.
