But it obsessed the South. W. Fitzhugh Brundage''s multidisciplinary approach to the complex nature of lynching delves into the such extrajudicial murders in two states: Virginia, the southern state with the fewest lynchings; and Georgia, where 460 lynchings made the state a measure of race relations in the Deep South. Brundage''s analysis addresses three central questions: How can we explain variations in lynching over regions and time periods? To what extent was lynching a social ritual that affirmed traditional white values and white supremacy? And, what were the causes of the decline of lynching at the end of the 1920s? \u003cp\u003eA groundbreaking study, \u003ci\u003eLynching in the New South\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic portrait of the tradition of violence that poisoned American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the Merle Curti Social History Award given by the Organization of American Historians, 1994.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The research is formidable, the analysis sophisticated.
