Ida B. Wells-Barnett
E-book | Engels
€ 0,49
Omschrijving
In "Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases," Ida B. Wells-Barnett delivers a searing critique of the pervasive racism and brutal violence against African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. The book combines meticulous research with passionate rhetoric, presenting both firsthand accounts and statistical evidence to expose the barbarity of lynching as a social control tactic wielded by white populations. Wells-Barnett's incisive style, grounded in journalistic precision, not only catalogues the horrors but also contextualizes them within the broader spectrum of systemic oppression, urging for societal accountability and change. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a pioneering black journalist and activist, drew upon her own experiences of racial injustice and the societal conditions of her time to craft this seminal work. Born into slavery in 1862 and profoundly affected by the lynching of her friends and family, Wells-Barnett built a career as a fierce advocate for civil rights and women's suffrage. Her scholarship and activism were rooted in both personal loss and a broader commitment to justice, making her insights into the cycles of violence particularly potent and urgent. This work is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of America's racial landscape and the historical contexts of violence against marginalized communities. "Southern Horrors" stands not only as a potent indictment of lynch law but also as a foundational text for scholars of race, gender, and justice, making it a must-read for anyone committed to the pursuit of equality and human dignity.
