"Des arbres du Sud portent un fruit étrange / Du sang sur les feuilles et du sang aux racines / Un corps noir oscillant à la brise du Sud / Fruit étrange pendu dans les peupliers". En 1939, quand Billie Holiday interprète pour la première fois Strange Fruit, elle n'a que 24 ans et déjà un nom dans le milieu du jazz. Or, peu de poncifs racistes et sexistes lui furent épargnés. Non sans susciter le scandale, Billie Holiday chanta Strange Fruit, évoquant l'assassinat des noirs par lynchage seize ans avant que Rosa Parks refuse de céder sa place à un Blanc dans un bus en Alabama. Protest song avant l'heure et figure symbolique de la marche des Noirs vers l'émancipation, cette chanson fut écrite par un Juif blanc new-yorkais, Abel Meeropol, qui recueillit les enfants Rosenberg après que leurs parents furent exécutés. Selon Angela Davis, cette chanson a replacé la protestation et la résistance au centre de la culture musicale noire contemporaine. La revue musicale britannique Q, a classé Strange Fruit parmi les dix chansons qui ont véritablement changé la face du monde. David Margolick montre son importance, aussi bien musicale qu'historique, en s'appuyant sur de nombreux témoignages.

"This book examines the phenomenon of the lynching of women, which was a much more rare experience than the lynching of men. Of importance in this examination is the role of race in lynching, particularly the increase in the number of black lynchings as the century progressed. Details are provided for the lynchings"--Provided by publisher.

Lynch mobs in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America exacted horrifying public torture and mutilation on their victims. In Lynching and Spectacle, Amy Wood explains what it meant for white Americans to perform and witness these sadistic spectacles and how lynching played a role in establishing and affirming white supremacy. Lynching, Wood argues, overlapped with a variety of cultural practices and performances, both traditional and modern, including public executions, religious rituals, photography, and cinema, all which encouraged the horrific violence and gave it social

This book is a study of faction, lynching, murder, terror and counter-terror during the French Revolution. It examines factionalism in small towns like Aubagne near Marseille, and how this produced the murders and prison massacres of 1795-8. Another major theme is the convergence of lynching from below with official terror from above. Although the terror may have been designed to solve a national emergency in the spring of 1793, in southern France it permitted one faction to continue a struggle against its enemies, a struggle that had begun earlier over local issues like taxation and governance. It uses the techniques of micro-history to tell the story of the small town of Aubagne. It then extends the scope to places nearby like Marseille, Arles, and Aix-en-Provence. Along the way, it illuminates familiar topics like the activity of clubs and revolutionary tribunals and then explores largely unexamined areas like lynching, the sociology of faction, the emergence of theories of violent fraternal democracy, and the nature of the White Terror.
