"A timely publication. . . . A page-turner which must be applauded
for its readability and thorough documentation. It should find a
ready audience not only in academe but also among readers in the
general public."
-- "Florida Historical Quarterly"
"If the contours of Godshalk's narrative are familiar, his
treatment is never facile. . . . Provides a complex and nuanced
account of inter-class tension in the black community. . . .
Noteworthy for its effort to factor themes of class and gender into
a book so outwardly concerned with issues of race."
-- "Journal of Social History"
""Veiled Visions" offers important insights into race relations and
the emergence of an urban social landscape in the South and the
nation."
-- "Historian"
"[This] pioneering study of the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot is a
brilliant exposition of the creation of Atlanta's myth of racial
progressivism. . . . May be the best monograph ever written on the
aftermath of a major race riot in a U.S. city. . . . Deserves the
broadest possible audience . . . will critically inform debates in
the histories of segregation, urban public policy, and poverty
studies."
-- "American Historical Review"
"Godshalk has given us an impeccably researched and extremely
well-written book on the tragic 1906 Atlanta Race Riot. In reaching
far beyond this topic and placing it in a historical context, he
has strikingly illuminated the reshaping of American race relations
throughout much of the twentieth century."
-- "Georgia Historical Quarterly"
"This sobering book offers an excellent analysis of American race
relations."
-- "History"
