Where much of the scholarship on lynching and its victims has focused on African American men, Gender and Lynchingis the first to examine African American women in this history. The authors probe the reasons and circumstances surrounding the death and torture of African American female victims, employing such methodological approaches as comparative historical work, content and media analysis, and literary criticism.
