Black Woman Reformer - Ida B. Wells, Lynching, and Transatlantic Activism

Informationen zum Autor SARAH L. SILKEY is an assistant professor of history at Lycoming College. Klappentext During the early 1890s, a series of lynchings brought international attention to American mob violence. This interest created an opportunity for Ida B. Wells, an African American journalist and civil rights activist, to travel to England to cultivate moral indignation against lynching. This title explores Wells's antilynching campaigns. Zusammenfassung Through extensive archival research, Silkey explores Wells’s 1893–94 antilynching campaigns within the broader contexts of nineteenth-century transatlantic reformation. Wells's speaking engagements and newspaper interviews reframed public debates on lynching in Britain and the United States and transformed our understanding of racial violence.
