A Lynching in the Heartland: Race and Memory in America

"Former Village Voice arts writer Carr has crafted a searing look at race in America that combines investigative journalism with an intensely personal family history. She uses the 1930 lynching of two African-American men in Marion, Ind., where her father and grandfather grew up, as a prism to examine not only the psychology of the lynch mob members but the thousands of bystanders, some of whom were immortalized in a revolting and haunting photograph, which shows townspeople gathering to stare at...

Hout, or "Rib" as he was known, we are made privy to what he learned about the connection between the healer and the healed, our individual missions on earth, free...

In Caught in the Middle, veteran journalist Richard C. Longworth explores how globalization has battered the region and how some communities are confronting new realities. From vanished manufacturing jobs...

Rural "strategists" famous for securing Democratic victories in places they shouldn't "have," the authors are self-proclaimed "bubbas" on a mission to convince their fellow southerners and rural Americans that the GOP's claim to represent "values," "patriotism," "sportsmen," and fiscal conservatism is a disastrous farce. In addition to exposing the lies behind the Republican invasion of the "hinterland," they offer some surprisingly simple strategies for Democrats to capture each of these issues...

Description Author Bios On that July evening in 1946, the leader counted aloud and the mob of white men fired. Seconds later, the leader counted again, "One, two, three," and the mob fired once more. After the third and final volley of gunshots, the white men got into their cars and drove off, leaving the bullet-ridden bodies of two young black men and two young black women lying in the dirt near Moore's Ford Bridge in rural Walton County, Georgia. Since that summer evening, there have never been...

The forty-one essays in this collection take their inspiration from the Midwest--not just from its physical terrain but from its emotional terrain as well. They come from writers of diverse backgrounds: from poets, novelists, filmmakers, and journalists; from those who came and stayed, came and left, or from those who were born and raised in this place. The array of perspectives, then, is not surprising. Essays revolve generally around issues of conflict between place and identity; and the theme...

Human development traces complex pathways. That diversity offers a broad range of environmental contexts for people. To live in any given physical environment humans need to develop patterns of spatial organization that take advantage of opportunities offered and avoid or minimize the effects of limitations. Physical systems and environmental characteristics do not, by themselves, determine the pattern of human activity. In modern times humans have used technology as a means of reducing the potential...
