A Spectacular Secret: Lynching in American Life and Literature
Jacqueline Goldsby
Takes on one of the grimmest secrets in America's national life - the history of lynching and, more generally, the public punishment of African Americans. The author shows that lynching cannot be explained away as a phenomenon peculiar to the South or as the perverse culmination of racist politics.
