Description
"Salazar recreates an important yet overlooked moment in Texas and American history with a searing narrative about the Camp Logan race riots of 1917. Mutiny of Rage is at once gripping and vital in understanding the injustices that African Americans too often endure in the American criminal justice system." - Kenneth Williams, Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law at Houston "Jaime Salazar's riveting and heart-pounding account about the 1917 mutiny that took place in Houston, Texas, gives voice to the voiceless, and pays long overdue tribute to the colored soldiers who were buried with no names on their tombstones. Salazar doesn't waste a word in the telling of this timely and relevant tale usually footnoted in the history books." --Ray Studevent, Author of Black Sheep
