These shocking accounts of lynching within the Southern States
during the late nineteenth century remain no less poignant today
than when they were first recorded. A terrible reminder of the
violent consequences which ingrained racism has upon society, this
book unflinchingly tells of the various laws throughout the USA
which allowed crowds to hunt, beat and hang black Americans. This
process of lynching persisted for decades, with several communities
purposely photographing and publicising their aftermath. Prefaced
with a letter from the anti-slavery and black rights campaigner
Frederick Douglass, this book describes the various incidents which
resulted from authorities turning a blind eye to the violence
building in the Southern United States. It is an unabashed exposure
of the depravity to which the indulgence of prejudiced attitudes
leads by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, in the brutally honest style for
which she became both famous and remembered.
