Beskrivning

Between 1868 and 1935, four killings in the state of Virginia attracted extensive press coverage and led to the press itself playing a role in the construction of the killings and the reporting of them. This text explores the interplay of national media and culture with Southern law and values.

Recensioner i media

Hamm's idea of looking at four murders across seventy years to better understand perceptions of the South in the national imagination is brilliant. The scholarship is impressive, logically organized, and well written and makes a real contribution to the historiography. - Christopher Waldrep, San Francisco State University, author of The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
