Color of the Law: Race, Violence, & Justice in Post-World War II South

"O'Brien explores the circumstances surrounding an aborted lynching in Columbia, Tennessee, at the end of World War II to illustrate transitions that were occurring in race relations during that period. Seething racial tensions boiled over into an attempted lynching, triggered by a relatively minor incident--a black man's attempt to get a radio repaired. Black veterans returning from the war resisted what had been typical practice of venting racial animosity by lynching, triggering a movement in the larger black community from passivity to resistance. O'Brien relates the broader sociological implications of that resistance and focuses on individuals and their actions. For example, the sheriff who, in an effort to protect the intended victim, allowed him to escape. O'Brien also explores the interplay between the criminal-justice system of the old South and the broader political context that included increasing civil rights activism, the progressive labor movement, and the increasing outmigration of both whites and blacks.
