Chapter 17 highlights that following World War II, issues of race began to take prominence thanks, in part, to the decline of the other problems mentioned in the previous chapter. Chapter 17 asserts that race became especially important as the old European empires in Asia and Africa collapsed. The goal, described in Chapter 17, was “to channel anger into the traditional cooling mechanism of the ballot box, the polite petition, the officially endorsed quiet gathering.” Chapter 17 attests that many factors combined to turn the mid-1960s into a time, ironically, of more violence and agitation. These violent protests and riots provoked harsh reactions from the government. Chapter 17 focuses on how Black activism, which seemed so close to success in the early 1960s, had, by the mid-1970s, lost much of its force; an important component of this change was the war in Vietnam.
