520    Loewen (emeritus, sociology, U. of Vermont) exposes the 
       history and persistence of "sundown towns," so-named for 
       the signs often found at their corporate limits warning 
       African Americans and other minorities not to be found in 
       the town after dusk. He historically situates the rise of 
       the sundown town movement in the years following the Civil
       War; describes the mechanisms of violence, threats, law, 
       and policy that were used to force minorities out of 
       Northern and Western towns into the big cities; and charts
       the continued existence of such communities. In 
       considering the sociology of sundown towns he investigates
       the causes that underlie the existence of sundown towns 
       and discusses why the phenomena has remained largely 
       hidden. The social costs of sundown towns on whites, 
       blacks, and the social system are then detailed and 
       recommendations for fixing this blight on the body politic
       are proffered. Includes information on Anna, (Illinois),
