It's clear that this author is well intentioned. He betrays his own ignorance in trying to justify why his book only addreses certain native nations, however. The author indicates that the book did not address the native peoples of the Caribbean because they are extinct. To state that the Taino and Carib are extinct is at best extremely ignorant and at worst racist. The Taino and Carib are very much alive. To begin with, there is a reservation of Carib Indians on the island of Dominica. These native people have retained their language and culture. Further, there is a Taino Revival movement happening throughout the major Antilles especially in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Cuba. It has been scientifically proven via DNA analysis that these people are of partial and in some cases total native descent. The Taino language is being heard and taught again in the Caribbean and Taino culture has always been an integral part of the the customs and culture of the major Antilles. It is very unfortunate to know that even this author is ultimately just another white guy bent on ignoring " incovenient truths ".

By far, the best book of many I have read on this subject. Must read for anyone interested in this subject.

Format: Paperback

Best book I have yet read on the subject, and I have read many in research for the writing of my second novel. It relentlessly examines specific cases of lynching over time, but it is not a mere narrative of specific lynchings. It is an excellent analysis of the social, historical and cultural forces behind this horrendous practice. The book's discussion of the movie, Birth of a Nation, would by itself make this a valuable book, but the book's central theme is even more important. Its central theme, the public's desire for spectacle as fuel for lynchings, particularly after the abolition of legal public executions, is even more revealing. Also a good look at the social and cultural forces that over time led to the gradual demise of lynching as a phenomenon. A page turner for history readers. Warning -- man's inhumanity to man will make you simultaneously angry and sad.
