From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America - The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute Series on Race and Justice
Austin Sarat
Uncovers the ways that race influences capital punishment, and attempts to situate the linkage between race and the death penalty in the history of America, in particular the history of lynching. This book looks at how the death penalty gives meaning to race, as well as why the racialization of the death penalty is uniquely American.
