This book explores the complex ways in which political debates and
legal reforms regarding the criminalization of racial violence have
shaped the development of American racial history. Spanning
previous campaigns for criminalizing slave abuse, lynching, and
Klan violence and contemporary debates about the legal response to
hate crimes, this book reveals both continuity and change in terms
of the political forces underpinning the enactment of new laws
regarding racial violence in different periods and of the social
and institutional problems that hinder the effective enforcement of
these laws. A thought-provoking analysis of how criminal law
reflects and constructs social norms, this book offers a new
historical and theoretical perspective for analyzing the limits of
current attempts to use criminal legislation as a weapon against
racism.
