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...

Lynching in America: A History in Documents
ISBN: 9780814793992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Whether conveyed through newspapers, photographs, or Billie Holliday's haunting song -Strange Fruit, - lynching has immediate and graphic connotations for all who hear the word. Images of lynching are generally unambiguous: black victims hanging from trees, often surrounded by gawking white mobs. While this picture of lynching tells a distressingly familiar story about mob violence in America, it is not the full story. Lynching in America presents the most comprehensive portrait of lynching to date, demonstrating that while lynching has always been present in American society, it...

By printing the title "Professor of Aesthetics" on his visiting cards, Oscar Wilde announced yet another transformation-and perhaps the most significant of his career, proclaiming his belief that he could redesign not just his image but his very self.

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'...
