Product Description
This finely detailed statistical study of lynching in ten southern states shows that economic and status concerns were at the heart of that violent

Beck empirically test competing explanations of the causes of lynching, using U.S. Census and historical voting data and a newly constructed inventory of southern lynch victims.
