Miller (no credentials noted) examines the literary treatment of lynching in several Reconstruction-era texts. The writers considered describe the economic, political, and social factors contributing to race violence, and present a re-conceptualized view of womanhood. In so doing, they challenge st
First published in 2000. The Other Reconstruction examines groundbreaking works by three African American women whose writings expose the economic, political, and social factors that sustained race violence in post-Reconstruction United States. Their works demonstrate that fixed representations--of race, gender, and class--are a prerequisite of tolerated interracial and intraracial violence. Ida B. Wells-Barnett''s works challenge the lynching narrative and reveal that this violence depended upon the personal and political silence of women. Angelina Weld Grimke''s short stories critique class-based strategies of Negro advancement as they expand conventional conceptions of race violence. Nella Larsen''s novels explore the problems of cultural fixity. These writers'' examination of the potential violence of fixed representations informs later acts of cultural expression as well as future liberation struggles.
