An intelligent, 18-year-old Negro "zoot suiter" gives a verbal report of his participation in the Harlem riot of 1943. The report shows disintegration of personality in response to outlets for the frustration of being rejected or outcast. The disrespect for authority, persons, and property appears to be typical of the antisocial "zoot" reaction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
