Sinopse

Ersula J. Ore scrutinizes the civic roots of lynching, the relationship between lynching and white constitutionalism, and contemporary manifestations of lynching discourse and logic today. From the 1880s onward, lynchings, she finds, manifested a violent form of symbolic action that called a national public into existence, denoted citizenship, and upheld political community.

Grounded in Ida B. Wells’s summation of lynching as a social contract among whites to maintain a racial order, at its core, Since violence enacts an argument about citizenship, Ore construes lynching and its expressions as part and parcel of America’s rhetorical tradition and political legacy.

Drawing upon newspapers, official records, and memoirs, as well as critical race theory, Ore outlines the connections between what was said and written, the material practices of lynching in the past, and the forms these rhetorics and practices assume now. In doing so, she demonstrates how lynching functioned as a strategy interwoven with the formation of America’s national identity and with the nation’s need to continually restrict and redefine that identity. In addition, Ore ties black resistance to lynching, the acclaimed exhibit Without Sanctuary, recent police brutality, effigies of Barack Obama, and the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Resumo da Crítica

"Carefully outlines the ways lynching and its rhetorics were/are interwoven both with the formation of America’s national identity and with the nation’s need to continually renew that identity. (Scott Gage, Texas A&M University–San Antonio)

"Because it is both historically anchored and currently relevant, Lynching may evoke a sense of significance for an extended period of time." (Vorris L. Nunley, University of California, Riverside)
