From the assembled work of fifteen leading scholars emerges a
complex and provocative portrait of lynching in the American South.
With subjects ranging in time from the late antebellum period to
the early twentieth century, and in place from the border states to
the Deep South, this collection of essays provides a rich
comparative context in which to study the troubling history of
lynching.
Covering a broad spectrum of methodologies, these essays further
expand the study of lynching by exploring such topics as same-race
lynchings, black resistance to white violence, and the political
motivations for lynching. In addressing both the history and the
legacy of lynching, the book raises important questions about
Southern history, race relations, and the nature of American
violence. Though focused on events in the South, these essays speak
to patterns of violence, injustice, and racism that have plagued
the entire nation.
