这项关于1877年至1914年美国种族暴力的研究表明，并不是所有的种族都有同样的可能性成为暴力的受害者；作者试图寻找这一历史记录的原因。早先关于种族和族裔冲突的理论往往认为，种族冲突主要是贫穷或剥夺的结果，但奥尔扎克认为，在经济增长时期，冲突也同样可能发生。她对此的解释是，当种族秩序的体系崩溃时，冲突就会爆发，换句话说，当不同的种族群体发现自己在争夺就业和住房等关键资源时。芝加哥大学的威廉·朱利叶斯·威尔逊说：“对世纪之交美国大城市中城市种族冲突的原因进行的分析是一种有力的尝试。它必将成为社会科学家和历史学家重要的经验和理论参考。”
This study of ethnic violence in the United States from 1877 to 1914 reveals that not all ethnic groups were equally likely to be victims of violence; the author seeks the reasons for this historical record. Earlier theories of race and ethnic conflict often assumed that ethnic conflict is primarily a function of poverty or deprivation but Olzak suggests that conflict can equally arise during times of economic growth. She explains this by arguing that conflict erupts when racially ordered systems break down, in other words when different ethnic groups find themselves competing for key resources such as jobs and houses. 'This analysis of the causes of urban racial and ethnic strife in large American cities at the turn of the century is a tour de force. It is bound to become an important empirical and theoretical reference for social scientists and historians alike.' -William Julius Wilson, University of Chicago
