She also asks why riots did not take place in New York for decades, though conditions seemed ripe for them. She first reviews the construction of racial boundaries in the . and the violent policing of those boundaries. She traces the history of race riots in the . beginning in 1935 in New York. Schneider then reports on her research in Paris on racial boundaries and policing. She discusses race riots in France beginning with one triggered by a 1961 slaughter of unarmed Algerian protestors. Schneider returns to New York to dig into the reasons for the absence of rioting through the 1990s, when a white mayor and predominantly white police force, along with increasing social equality should have fostered mass violence. She concludes that crude enforcement of neighborhood boundaries, amplified by lack of access to the judicial system and official authority are key factors in urban violence.
