Abstract:
|
The prevailing theories used by sociologists to explain racial violence ignore important class differences between whites and/or treat white elites as a monolithic group. I argue that this neglects the historical record that points to great variation within these groups. In order to address this, I propose using a theory of elite-race interaction that analyzes how differences among elites with respect to dependency on African-American labor affects rates of lynching. I use this theory to test the relationship between 1,935 lynchings and the racial-economic state in the U.S. South between 1882 and 1930 using Poisson regression. I find that models incorporating elite-race interaction are significantly improved over other models and that elite-race interaction increases the effect of previous theories, suggesting that a more nuanced approach to class is necessary. |

| Elite-Race Interaction and Racial Violence: Lynching in the Deep South 1882-1930 Lisa Garoutte Between 1882 and 1930 nearly 3 000 people were lynched in the U.S. South. Most of these crimes were committed against African American men in the Deep South1. This brutal and violent phenomenon has long been of interest to both sociologists (for example Beck and Tolnay 1990; Corzine Creech and Corzine 1983; Stovel 2001; Tolnay Deane and Beck 1996) and historians (see for instance Harris 1995; |
