Review Quotes: "[Tulsa, 1921] would be an appropriate and meaningful addition to any syllabus rooted in American history, twentieth-century race relations, media studies, or the dynamics of power, domination, and resistance. Both scholars and "history buffs" will benefit from Tulsa, 1921, as will anyone interested in the cultural and economic history of the southern Great Plains."-- Great Plains Quarterly
