An Anatomy of Lynching
View through CrossRef
This chapter closely analyzes the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco, Texas, and the 1918 lynching of Mary Turner in Brooks County, Georgia: the ritual violence itself, local Black and white communities’ responses in their immediate aftermath, and national media coverage. These two cases encapsulate many common elements of lynching during the peak period of 1880 through 1940, and dissecting the anatomy of lynching—exploring the composition and assemblage of lynch mobs, specific rituals of lynching, and racial and gender myths reinforced by lynching—provides a historical foundation for tracing continuities between lynching at the height of Jim Crow and its legacies in the three decades following 1940.
