“…. Monroe Work (1913) took Wells's analysis a step further, showing that although around 20 to 25 percent of lynchings of black men were ostensibly about rape, only about 2 percent of blacks incarcerated for "major offenses" were charged with rape, and many groups of European immigrants were incarcerated for rape at much higher levels, suggesting that whites were afforded the protections of legal system when accused of rape whereas blacks were not (Work 1913:75-76). Researchers at the Tuskegee Institute, and the early NAACP under W. E. B. DuBois, also began to collect lynching statistics in the early 1900s (see Figure 1).…”

“…This organic, reflexive turn has also brought attention to lynchings motivated by the political objectives of citizenship regulation and land dispossession, as putting the magnifying glass on white supremacy and its shaping of a national tolerance for lynching as a preferred method of "crime control" was a known tactic of fire-starter Ida B. Wells- Barnett (2015Barnett ( [1895). Following her lead, numerous sociologists (O. C. Cox, 1945;Cutler, 1969Cutler, [1905; Raper, 1933;Work, 1913Work, , 1915, legal historians, and public practitioners (e.g., Hall, 1979;NAACP, 2010NAACP, [1919) amplified the anti-lynching gospel in order to change the material realities facing Black, Native American, Latinx, or other communities perceived to threaten white heteronormative patriarchal interests. 16 After decades of academic disinterest on the matter of lynching (see Brundage, 2005 for a review), scholars in the early and mid-nineteen nineties (e.g., Tolnay & Beck, 1995) revived the study of lynching and the explicit focus on the politics of citizenship.…”

“…Championing an anti-racist, interventionist praxis follows the spirit of the anti-lynching tradition and the wisdom of contemporary racism scholarship. The Transdisciplinary Frame pays homage to the brilliant insights and abolitionist inclinations of pioneering lynching scholars (O. C. Cox, 1945;Cutler, 1969Cutler, [1905; NAACP, 2010NAACP, [1919; Raper, 1933;Wells-Barnett, 1995[1895; Work, 1913) who centered the rational logics and objectives of white supremacy to expose the hypocrisy of lynching as a measure of crime-control. It follows the intuitions of Christian (2019) and Mills (1997) by centering white supremacy at the center of the global racialized social system, and similarly heeds the call of Bonilla-Silva (1997) to "reveal the objective interests" (p. 474) of the racialized social system grounded in concrete material struggles instead of group positioning in racial hierarchies.…”

“…The 13th Amendment may have abolished slavery within the United States and its territories, but not for those in prison, thereby laying the groundwork for the development of the convict lease system, which enabled convicts to become a source of revenue (Work, 1913). Henceforth, each state had a financial interest in increasing the number of convicts (read “slaves”).…”

“…Henceforth, each state had a financial interest in increasing the number of convicts (read “slaves”). While the convict lease system increased the revenue of the states, it made the condition of convicts infinitely worse than was possible under a system of slavery in which the slave belonged to his master for life (Work, 1913). Masters had a financial investment in their slaves as slaves served as both a source of labor and a source of capital when sold.…”
