Description:... Interdisciplinary research study of the social implications and political aspects and significance of Black rioting in the slum urban areas of the USA, with particular reference to violence as a form of political behaviour - asserts that rioting representents a valid struggle towards political goals such as decentralization and community-based social controls, etc., rather than an expression of youth unrest or minority group delinquency.
