Death On The Fourth Of July The Story Of A Killing, A Trial, And Hate Crime In America

On July 4, 2000, three young Asian American men visiting the small town of Ocean Shores, Washington were attacked by a group of skinheads in the parking lot of a Texaco station. Threats and slurs gave way to violence and, ultimately, a fatal stabbing. But this tragedy culminated with a twist. A young white man, flaunting a Confederate flag just moments before, was slain by one of his would-be victims. In this book, veteran journalist David Neiwert explores the hard questions about hate crimes that few are willing to engage. He shares the stories behind the Ocean Shores case, including first-hand interviews and trial details, and weaves them through an expert examination of the myths, legal issues, and history surrounding these controversial crimes.Neiwert, David A. is the author of 'Death On The Fourth Of July The Story Of A Killing, A Trial, And Hate Crime In America', published 0014 under ISBN 9781403969002 and ISBN 1403969000.
