Group-level grievances about relative disadvantage fueled late-1960s black urban unrest

Evidence

Considerable evidence suggests that such group-level discontents played an important role in the black urban unrest of the late 1960s (Abeles, 1976; Caplan & Paige, 1972), as well as in reactions to other social movements (Guimond & Dube-Simard, 1983), and in white voting for black candidates for political office (Vanneman & Pettigrew, 1972). — John T.
