After Reconstruction, lynchings exhibited and embodied links between violent collective action, American civic identity, and the making of the nation. Ersula J. Ore investigates lynching as a racialized practice of civic engagement. Ore scrutinizes the civic roots of lynching, the relationship between lynching and white constitutionalism, and contemporary manifestations of lynching discourse and logic today. From the 1880s onward, lynchings, she finds, manifested a violent form of symbolic action that called a national public into existence, denoted citizenship, and upheld political community. Grounded in Ida B. Wells's summation of lynching as a social contract among whites to maintain a racial order, at its core, Ore's book speaks to racialized violence as a mode of civic engagement. Since violence enacts an argument about citizenship, Ore construes lynching and its expressions as part and parcel of America's rhetorical tradition and political legacy. Drawing upon newspapers, official records, and memoirs, as well as critical race theory, Ore outlines the connections between what was said and written, the material practices of lynching in the past, and the forms these rhetorics and practices assume now. In doing so, she demonstrates how lynching functioned as a strategy interwoven with the formation of America's national identity and with the nation's need to continually restrict and redefine that identity. In addition, Ore ties black resistance to lynching, the acclaimed exhibit Without Sanctuary, recent police brutality, effigies of Barack Obama, and the killing of Trayvon Martin."--:Provided by publisher. 001373701 504__ $$aIncludes bibliographical references. 001373701 5050_ $$aPreface: Death wish -- Introduction: a rhetoric of civic belonging -- Constituting the citizen race -- A lesson in civics -- A past not yet passed -- Lynching in the age of Obama -- Conclusion: civics lessons continued -- Postscript: caught up. 001373701 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001373701 520__ $$aA rhetorical framework to comprehend antiblack violence today within racialized citizenship since Reconstruction. 001373701 5880_ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 23, 2019). 001373701 650_0 $$aLynching$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 001373701 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001373701 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aOre, Ersula J.$$tLynching.$$dJackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2019]$$z9781496821591$$w(DLC) 2018054787 001373701 830_0 $$aRace, rhetoric, and media series. 001373701 852__ $$bebk 001373701 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2083462$$zOnline access 001373701 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1373701$$pGLOBAL_SET 001373701 938__ $$aEBSCOhost$$bEBSC$$n2083462 001373701 980__ $$aEBOOK 001373701 980__ $$aBIB 001373701 982__ $$aEbook 001373701 983__ $$aOnline
