This book deals with the quest for a preventive to lynching which can be undertaken only after one has an understanding of what it is that is to be prevented. This necessary analysis of lynching--its background, circumstances, and meaning--introduces many baffling elements. The author has made a detailed study of the lynchings of 1930 in an effort to find an answer to the complexities of the problem.

For the real meaning of the term one should look to such matters as low wages, insecurity, and lack of opportunity for self-direction and responsible participation in community affairs. The national pattern of exploitation finds its most exaggerated expression in the South with differentials everywhere threatening to defeat the struggling democratic effort.
