Rough Justice by Michael Pfeifer

The history of lynching

"In this thought-provoking, impressively researched, sweeping study of rough justice in the United States, Pfeifer expands the history of lynching and its transmutation from popular, ritualized collective violece to state-sanctioned, sanitized execution, that is, legal lynching"--American Studies

Michael J. Pfeifer teaches American history at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario.
