INSURRECTION recounts the historic racial disturbances that rocked Plainfield, New Jersey nearly half a century ago. Longtime Plainfield resident and accomplished writer Isaiah Tremaine delivers a compelling, yet historically-accurate, personal account of the city riot and high school racial conflicts that forever altered the substance and culture of the city. Written 50 years after the tragedy of the city riot, INSURRECTION is at once a rich revisiting of that era and, for younger readers, a vivid introduction to Plainfield’s great and tragic past.
