But it obsessed the South. W. Fitzhugh Brundage's multidisciplinary approach to the complex nature of lynching delves into the such extrajudicial murders in two states: Virginia, the southern state with the fewest lynchings; and Georgia, where 460 lynchings made the state a measure of race relations in the Deep South. Brundage's analysis addresses three central questions: How can we explain variations in lynching over regions and time periods? To what extent was lynching a social ritual that affirmed traditional white values and white supremacy? And, what were the causes of the decline of lynching at the end of the 1920s? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA groundbreaking study, \u003ci\u003eLynching in the New South\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic portrait of the tradition of violence that poisoned American life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034455957655,"sku":"9780252063459","price":2369.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780252063459.webp?v=1769210647","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lynching-in-the-new-south-georgia-and-virginia-1880-1930-9780252063459","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
