	Containment: The Architecture of the 1967 Newark Riots
		Like most urban riots in the mid to late 1960’s, Newark’s riots were described as "race riots," primarily due to the fact that the majority of the rioters were African-American and the issues that were discussed in conjunction with the riots were intertwined with race.
		The riots left more than the built environment in ruins; psychological, political, economic, social, and cultural processes and institutions were so irreparably ‘altered’ that I will also consider them as ruins.
		The rioting only began as such when a series of institutions defined certain actions as a "riot" and launched a complex struggle over the definition of space.
