I have seen this book advertised on the net – its by a respected American author – Colin Flaherty.
I recently read ‘A death in Texas’ a book about the murder of a black guy by 3 white guys, in the book the author (Dina Temple-Raston) mentions the murder of a white guy by his black employee that happened a week or so before the murder of the black guy.
The murder of the black guy got all the headlines – I recall thinking when will someone write about the white guy, why dont they write about the white guy (or girl).
Does this book reflect a shift in attitude – if so why – is it because there are so many – is it because the middle / upper classes are becoming fearful.

This is one of Mr Flaherty's documents about so many race riots involving violence, vandalism, and mob beatings of non-blacks. "This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life." White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Race Riots to America, And how the media ignore it? Flaherty also exposed how media, local police, and politicians refused to talk about the racial aspect of the incidents. The ebook has many clickable links for video and photo which makes it really interesting.
