About the Author

Dale Marcelle is the author of Fire in the Streets, a history of the criminal justice system in America. Because of the use and popularity of that textbook, he was asked to perform talks about the history of racism in the United States. The lecture series became quite popular at colleges and universities in the Southern California area, and Marcelle was also asked to speak at bookstores, historical societies, club meetings, and police academies. These talks led to this work, a comprehensive and disturbing history of the relationship between various and very diverse groups of immigrating and Native Americans. Dale Marcelle was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He migrated to the Los Angeles area and started a career as a rock musician. Better known for his guitar work, he always continued his lifelong study of African American struggle through the unique history of the United States. This work is the latest result of that frightening journey.
