Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 9 page research paper on social conditions which caused the eruption of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The writer posits that the Rodney King verdict was merely a final stimulus ('the straw that broke the camel's back') for the ensuing violence but that various other social, economic, cultural, and demographic factors contributed to it as well. Conflict, race relations, and immigration to South Central Los Angeles are of particular importance in this insightful sociopolitical analysis. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

these interests can be compromised for and are somewhat dependent on economic interests and moreover, become more important as the socio-economic situation improves. Assuming that we are in agreement with
