Editorial Reviews
Review
“This thought-provoking book is worth reading. It shows that much can be learned from studying Black communities from a critical race perspective.”―Robert L. Boyd, Ethnic and Racial Studies
"Skillfully incorporates the tools of geography, ethnography, and history to investigate issues surrounding reparations and what they might accomplish for the African American community. . . . Highly recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals."―Choice
"Lewis's Violent Utopia offers a fresh and nuanced perspective on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and its legacies. ... The book is a stellar ethnohistorical model for scholars."―Jajuan Johnson, Journal of Southern History
