Summary: The basis of Black Rage
Comment: Ralph Ginzburg in this historic book show that African-Americans are justified in their fear of White America. The graphic details of lynchings show how racism can make people do to their fellow man. Anyone who wants to understand the roots of Black Nationalism should read this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Primary Sources on Lynching
Comment: Given its politically and culturally loaded history, lynching is one of the most difficult topics to teach in American universities. Ginzburg's book makes the job easier by providing the instructor with primary documents with which to examine the phenomenon. In particular, Ginzburg's collection is useful because it draws upon newspaper articles intended for a number of constituencies. Some, directed at racist whites, cheer the lynchings. Meanwhile, black newspapers and those directed at more progressive whites decry the practice. As such, the collection is a perfect tool for examing the place of lynching within various US communities in the latter 19th and early 20th century. Even more excellent when combined with the visual record of _No Sanctuary_.

Rating: 4
Summary: The definite book on this subject
Comment: In recent times, there has been a lot of interest and books about the Tulsa and Rosewood Massacres ("American Kristilllnachts" as a writer of a book on the Tulsa massacre put it). This book, orignially publsihed in 1961, shows that these were only two of thousands of such incidents in American history. Read it and see what your history teacher was not likely to have told you.
