The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
ISBN: 9780312293994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The U.S. is the most violent industrialized country in the world, and lynching - that is, murder endorsed by the community - may be a key to understanding America's heritage of violence and perhaps point to solutions that can eradicate it. While lynchings are predominantly racial in tone and motive, Christopher Waldrep's sweeping study of the meaning and uses of lynching from the colonial period to the present reveals that the definition of the term has shifted dramatically over time, and that the victims and perpetuators of lynching were as diverse as its many meanings. By examining lynching...

The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
ISBN: 9781403967114 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The word "lynching" has immediate and graphic connotations for virtually all people who hear and use the word. When Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas claimed he was lynched by a Senate investigating committee, he intentionally and deliberately drew on two key components of the term -- race and punishment - that stemmed from the long and ugly history of lynching in America. Yet if we follow the history of the term itself - which is over two centuries old - we learn that lynching has had several different meanings over time, with murder endorsed by the community as one of its most enduring...

Roots of Disorder: Race and Criminal Justice in the American South, 1817-80
ISBN: 9780252067327 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Every white southerner understood what keeping African Americans down meant and what it did not mean. It did not mean going to court; it did not mean relying on the law. It meant vigilante violence and lynching.Looking at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Roots of Disorder traces the origins of these terrible attitudes to the day-to-day operations of local courts. In Vicksburg, white exploitation of black labor through slavery evolved into efforts to use the law to define blacks' place in society, setting the stage for widespread tolerance of brutal vigilantism. Fed by racism and economics, whites'...

Future Nostalgia: Performing David Bowie
ISBN: 9781623566920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although David Bowie has famously characterized himself as a "leper messiah," a more appropriate moniker might be "rock god": someone whose influence has crossed numerous sub-genres of popular and classical music and can at times seem ubiquitous. By looking at key moments in his career (1972, 1977-79, 1980-83, and 1995-97) through several lenses-theories of sub-culture, gender/sexuality studies, theories of sound, post-colonial theory, and performance studies Waldrep examines Bowie's work in terms not only of his auditory output but his many reinterpretations of it via music videos, concert...

African Americans Confront Lynching: Strategies of Resistance from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Era
ISBN: 9780742552739 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines African Americans' strategies for resisting white racial violence from the Civil War until the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968 and up to the Clinton era. Christopher Waldrep's semi-biographical approach to the pioneers in the anti-lynching campaign portrays African Americans as active participants in the effort to end racial violence rather than as passive victims. In telling this more than 100-year-old story of violence and resistance, Waldrep describes how white Americans legitimized racial violence after the Civil War, and how black journalists...

ISBN: 9780822313939 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the late nineteenth century, industrialization was making its way into rural America.
