Abstract

This article is concerned with Cleveland's Hough riots of 1966. The Hough neighbourhood experienced rapid racial transition and ghettoisation as a result of urban renewal, suburbanisation and freeway construction. The riots, it is argued, rather than being primarily a frustrated reaction to ghetto conditions, represented what Jacques Rancière terms “democratic politics”: an appearance of the people in the order of the police. Attention to political re-inscription processes may provide scholars and activists with the tools needed to build linkages between political events.
