Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The essays collected in this volume remind us, no region of the country--and no ethnic group--was spared the spectacle of lynch mobs in the 19th or early-20th centuries."--Shepherd Express "Each essay expands understanding of lynching and shows how deeply the practice was embedded in the cultural DNA of the nation. . . . Thought-provoking and impressively researched."--The Journal of American History "Theoretically sophisticated, well documented, and superbly written, this volume provides an in-depth examination of lynching outside the South and will stand out as a fresh and unique contribution to recent scholarship on lynching." --Margaret Vandiver, author of Lethal Punishment: Lynchings and Legal Executions in the South "Michael Pfeifer, the editor of Lynching Beyond Dixie, has emerged as one of the most important contributors to the scholarship on lynching. . . . Reminding us that lynching was a national phenomenon that reflected national, no less than regional, anxieties."--The Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society "A must read for all historians who work on lynching and mob violence in American history." --Manfred Berg, author of Popular Justice: A History of Lynching in America "These perceptive case studies underscore Pfeifer's contention that lynching was a national phenomenon that disrupted the transition from 'rough justice' to 'due process.'--The Journal of Arizona History "Lynching Beyond Dixie, admirably fulfills its title's promise in extending our gaze beyond teh former Confederacy to recognize "rough justice" as a national -- not simply a regional -- phenomenon."--Utah Historical Quarterly "The book brings together interesting case studies, new empirical evidence, and challenging perspectives. Most importantly, it clearly demonstrates the "Southern exceptionalism" in the study of lynching is no longer tenable."--Criminal Law & Criminal Justice Books "Michael J. Pfeifer is the most important historian of lynching since W. Fitzhugh Brundage began reinvigorating the field in the early 1990s, and Pfeifer solidifies this position with an excellent collection of essays that pushes us to consider lunching as a national phenomenon rather than as something unique to the American South."--Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains "These essays are thoughtful, engaging, and clearly written. Taken as a whole, the collection will force scholars to ponder how they study mob violence in America and to begin to broaden what they think of location, motivation, and response when they discuss that violence."--The Annals of Iowa Read more...
