Based on a wide array of previously neglected archival sources, Silvan Niedermeier argues that as public lynching decreased, less visible practices of racial subjugation and repression became central to southern white supremacy. In an effort to deter unruly white mobs, as well as oppress black communities, white southern law officers violently extorted confessions and testimony from black suspects and defendants in jail cells and police stations to secure speedy convictions. In response, black citizens and the NAACP fought to expose these brutal practices through individual action, local organizing, and litigation. In spite of these efforts, police torture remained a widespread, powerful form of racial control and suppression well into the late twentieth century." -- $c From publisher's description. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Police brutality $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Torture $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American prisoners $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Racism $z Southern States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a Police brutality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068571 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Torture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152956 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Cohen, Paul $q (Paul Allen), $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023427.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025129.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4DFEEA02DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
