More copies of this ISBN:The Tragedy of Lynchingby Arthur F Raper
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Thorough, perceptive accounts and analyses of more than 20 lynchings that occurred in America during 1930, prepared by a commission composed of Southern scholars and investigators. Each lynching is examined in detail: the alleged crime, formation of the mob, behavior of the police, economic background of the area where the crime occurred, along with existing race relations and attitudes of local leaders, churches, and the press. An essential document in the history of race relations in America, this book remains a model of investigative sociological analysis. Book News Annotation:The Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching was formed to
examine the increase in lynching occurring in the southern United
States in the 1930s. In their 1933 report, overseen by sociologist
Arthur Raper, the commission examined twenty incidents of lynching in
the South. For each incident, the commission recreated the events of
the crime, look at community and government reaction, and draw
conclusions about race relations for the area in question. This
paperbound volume reprints the 1933 report in unchanged form.
