"A lucid, smart, engaging, and accessible introduction to the
impact of lynching photography on the history of race and violence
in America. "--Grace Elizabeth Hale, author of "Making Whiteness:
The Culture of Segregation in America, 1890-1940"
"With admirable courage, Dora Apel and Shawn Michelle Smith examine
lynching photographs that are horrifying, shameful, and elusive;
with admirable sensitivity they help us delve into the meaning and
legacy of these difficult images. They show us how the images
change when viewed from different perspectives, they reveal how the
photographs have continued to affect popular culture and political
debates, and they delineate how the pictures produce a dialectic of
shame and atonement."--Ashraf H. A. Rushdy, author of "Neo-Slave
Narratives and Remembering Generations"
"This thoughtful and engaging book offers a highly accessible yet
theoretically sophisticated discussion of a painful, complicated,
and unavoidable subject. Apel and Smith, employing complementary
(and sometimes overlapping) methodological approaches to reading
these images, impress upon us how inextricable photography and
lynching are, and how we cannot comprehend lynching without making
sense of its photographic representations."--Leigh Raiford,
co-editor of "The Civil Rights Movement in American Memory"
"Our newspapers have recently been filled with photographs of
mutilated, tortured bodies from both war fronts and domestic
arenas. How do we understand such photographs? Why do people take
them? Why do we look at them? The two essays by Apel and Smith
address photographs of lynching, but their analysis can be applied
to a broader spectrum of images presenting ritual orspectacle
killings."--Frances Pohl, author of "Framing America: A Social
History of American Art"
