Elliott J. Gorn. Let the People See: The Story of Emmett Till
Elliot J. Gorn’s Let the People See: The Story of Emmett Till joins a deluge of recent books on Emmett Till, an African American teenager who in 1955 was brutally murdered by white men in the Mississippi delta for allegedly flirting with a white woman. Devery S. Anderson’s Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement (2015) and Timothy Tyson’s The Blood of Emmett Till (2017) in particular have provided de…
The Freedom Schools: Student Activists in the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement
In the historiography of the civil rights movement, no other state has received as much attention as Mississippi. In particular, the 1964 Freedom Summer project of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which brought hundreds of white volunteers to the Magnolia State to register African American voters and to teach black children in so-called Freedom Schools, has been the subject of numerous studies. Yet, a few historiographical ga…
Autorität: Krise, Konstruktion und Konjunktur
Der Begriff der Autorität verortet sich im 20. Jahrhundert in einer komplexen Matrix zwischen zeitgeschichtlichem Problembewusstsein, »konservativem« Denken und politischer Theoriebildung. Drei Perspektiven kennzeichnen die Rede von Autorität im 20. Jahrhundert: erstens die vermeintliche Krise einer vormals fraglosen Gültigkeit, zweitens der Versuch genealogischer Rückversicherung durch Versatzstücke der Tradition und drittens die Behauptung, Aut…

Charles E. Cobb Jr. This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible
Charles E. Cobb Jr.'s This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible is the most recent addition to a strand of civil rights historiography that emerged after the publication of Timothy B. Tyson's pathbreaking Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power (1999). Over the course of the last 15 years, a deluge of monographs and journal articles has confirmed and elaborated on Tyson's f…
Racism in the Modern World
Emphasizing the global nature of racism, this volume brings together historians from various regional specializations to explore this phenomenon from comparative and transnational perspectives. The essays shed light on how racial ideologies and practices developed, changed, and spread in Europe, Asia, the Near East, Australia, and Africa, focusing on processes of transfer, exchange, appropriation, and adaptation. To what extent, for example, were…
Introduction: Lynching from an International Perspective
In 1905, the sociologist James E. Cutler began his book Lynch-Law: An Investigation into the History of Lynching in the United States with the following introduction: It has been said that our country's national crime is lynching ... The practice whereby mobs capture individuals suspected of crime ... and execute them without any process of law ... is to be found in no other country of a high degree of civilization. Riots and mob executions take …

The Spirit and the Shotgun: Armed Resistance and the Struggle for Civil Rights
The Spirit and Shotgun explores role of armed self-defense in tandem with nonviolent protests in African American freedom struggle of 1950s and 1960s. Confronted with violent attacks by Ku Klux Klan and other racist terrorists, southern blacks adopted Martin Luther King's philosophy of nonviolent resistance as a tactic, Wendt argues, but at same time armed themselves out of necessity and pride. Sophisticated self-defense units patrolled black nei…
They Finally Found Out that We Really Are Men’: Violence, Non‐Violence and Black Manhood in the Civil Rights Era
This article explores how peaceful protest and armed resistance reflected and shaped certain gender identities in the southern US civil rights movement and the Black Power movement, and reveals much about the significance of violence for ‘marginalised masculinities’ within the African American freedom struggle of the 1950s and 1960s. In the Deep South, civil rights organisers found that their non‐violent strategy's connotations of effeminate subm…
Protection or Path Toward Revolution: Black Power and Self-Defense
This article examines the evolution of the ideology and practice of armed self-defense in the Black freedom struggle of the 1950s and 1960s. Comparing self-defense tactics in the southern civil rights movement with armed militancy in the Black Power movement, the article argues that there were both continuities and discontinuities between these two phases of the Black freedom struggle. The fact that African-American activists relied on armed prot…
