RACE RIOTS ARE i NOT NECESSARY By Alfred McClunq Lee Public Affair.s Pamphlet No. 107' 31 OP Reviewed by Joe Ishikawa Race riots are only symptoms c.' something much deeper and bigger than “the breaking of hi ads and store fronts, the beatiny and terrorizing of street car and bus pa-ssengers. the shooting of defenseless and inoffensive wom en and men. the burning of aulo- n;obilcs." This thesis is set fortn by Alfred McClung Lee. professor and department chairman of so ciology at Wayne University, au thor of several books and former ly of the Institute for Propagand-i Analysis, who investigates race riots, probes lo the very roots of the problem and suggests correc tive nctim in the latest Public Affairs PimohletRace Riots Are n't Necessary. The result is a simple and posi tive approach to the complex set of conflicts known as “the rare problem.” Every citizens, especi- uly those suggested to pn-vcht and cure the effects of the dread dis ease of racism. Race Riots Aren't Necessary is available at Workers Defcn.se League. 112 E. 19th St., N« w York 3. N. Y, While not minimizing the sur face results of discrimination. Lei lecognizes the fact that these are only results of the real evil which "ic that pcrverite inhumanity of man to man known as racial in tolerance or ‘scapegoatism’.” Hi vf ints out that "scaDegoatism" s the common denominator tha* brought about Naz‘«m in Ger many, Fasci.sm in Italy, and Kt; Khix Ktanism and the 1943 De troit race riot in the United States. While reminding us that raci.sm i.s the result of poor housing for minorities, iob dlscriminat on. ru- n:ors. police bias, delinqurncv. and negative police attitudes. Lee also gives some very pointed sug- aestinns that individuals and rnm- emnitifs ran u.se to combat an'z f-i eatenin** crisis or active rar riot. He Ls far too astute, t'owever to assume that It is sufficient ♦o wal' fnt danger signals. He insist* that there is no substitute for n long-term program to promote sound race relations, givlne oev- al leads ..1 follow and makin" the warning that such planning ir nreessarv in all American com- muniti'’s. . I..ec is no “inspired soanno!. haranguer with a '‘mission.'’ He knows the nature of the problem he attempts to solve, and ho knows the limitations of the ma terial — namely the sheltered and poorly informed but essentially honest and well-meaning Ameri can public — with which he hopes to solve the problem. Any shortcomings in the pam phlet may be attributed to the lock of space given the author, he has oversimplified several as- prrts. but he has attumpted to compensate including a biblic:^- graphy which is qualitatively ex cellent.
