Aftermath of a Race Riot: the Emergent Norm Process Among Black and White Community Leaders.

Gordon, Leonard

Sociological Perspectives, v26 n2 p115-135 Apr 1983

Draws on Ralph Turner's emergent norm theory to examine the normative shift in attitudes and behaviors among Detroit's (Michigan) community leaders, from ideological and policy polarization between Blacks and Whites in the years immediately following the 1967 racial disorder crisis, to the non-ideological, pragmatist, accomodationist orientation evident in 1980.
