Synopsis

Welcome to Photography and Lynching in America: Without Sanctuary. In this powerful exploration, we confront the painful and often overlooked history of racial violence in the United States, particularly focusing on the practice of lynching in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This audiobook examines not just the brutality of these acts, but the ways in which they were immortalized through photography, turning horrific moments of racial terrorism into public spectacles. 
Through the lens of these photographs, we see the complicity of ordinary white citizens and community leaders who participated in, or stood by, as these brutal acts unfolded. We’ll also delve into the disturbing justifications used to defend lynching, such as the perpetuation of white supremacy and false narratives surrounding black criminality. But this history is not just about the past—it’s about how these acts continue to shape the racial landscape of America today. 
As we journey through this dark chapter of American history, we’ll explore the resilience of black communities, the fight for justice, and the lasting impact of these events. This audiobook seeks to not only remember these atrocities but to understand how they continue to influence the ongoing struggle against racism in America. Stay with us as we peel back the layers of this history and face its painful truths, in the hope of building a more just and equal future.
