Double-weighted statement
This book moves beyond conventional understanding of lynching as an instrument of white racial control over African Americans by focusing on the victimisation of Mexicans in the United States. The construction of a database itemising these hundreds of hitherto unknown incidents necessitated research over fifteen years in newspapers, memoirs, diaries, personal letters and diplomatic correspondence from archives across the United States and Mexico. The breadth and depth of this research provided for a reinterpretation of lynching as a multi-racial and national rather than regional phenomenon.
