By comparing lynching in Mississippi and South Carolina from Reconstruction to the civil rights era, Finnegan is able to isolate the most important circumstances, motivations, and dynamics of this racially motivated form of violence. He ends by showing how the tragedy of lynching spawned the triumph of the civil rights movement.
