Spanning previous campaigns for criminalizing slave abuse, lynching, and Klan violence and contemporary debates about the legal response to hate crimes, this book reveals both continuity and change in terms of the political forces underpinning the enactment of new laws regarding racial violence in different periods and of the social and institutional problems that hinder the effective enforcement of these laws. A thought-provoking analysis of how criminal law reflects and constructs social norms, this book offers a new historical and theoretical perspective for analyzing the limits of current attempts to use criminal legislation as a weapon against racism"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000718411 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCrimes against$$xHistory. 000718411 650_0 $$aHate crimes$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000718411 650_0 $$aViolence$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000718411 650_0 $$aViolent crimes$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000718411 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory. 000718411 830_0 $$aCambridge historical studies in American law and society. 000718411 85200 $$bgen$$hHV6250.4.E75$$iA22$$i2014 000718411 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718411$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718411 980__ $$aBIB 000718411 980__ $$aBOOK
