Book Synopsis
A collection of plays that focus on women's view of lynching. It reveals a social history of interracial cooperation between black and white women and an artistic tradition that continues to evolve through the work of African American women artists. It includes examples of both one-act and full-length dramas.

Trade Review
"These lynching dramas may not present the picture that America wants to see of itself, but these visions cannot be ignored because they are grounded--not only in the truth of white racism's toxic effect on our national existence but also in the truth that there exists a contesting, collective response that is part of an on-going and continually building momentum." Theatre Journal "A unique, powerful collection worthy of high school and college classroom assignment and discussion." Bookwatch
