Rather than an exception, the massacre was completely consistent with that time in the United States, an era of Jim Crow, widespread lynching, and racism endorsed and promulgated at the highest levels of society. Featuring a brand new afterword, The Burning skillfully places the Tulsa Massacre in a broader historical context. Now, 100 years after the massacre, Madigan brings new resonance to these questions in the reissue of this definitive work of American history. How can we heal when we don’t know what we’re healing from?” Too many were just as oblivious to some of the darkest moments in our history, a legacy of which Tulsa is both a tragic example and a shameful metaphor. “Too many in this country remained as ignorant as I was.

“I began to suspect that a crucial piece remained missing from America’s long attempts at racial reconciliation,” Madigan wrote in 2001 in the author’s note to The Burning. After it was published, The Burning, like its subject matter, remained unknown to most in America. When first published in 2001, society apparently wasn’t ready for such an unstinting narrative. Magic City Books presents Tim Madigan, for a virtual event to celebrate and discuss his landmark book about the Tulsa Race Massacre, The Burning.
