Often available in periodicals, lynching plays were read aloud or acted out by black church members, schoolchildren, and families. Koritha Mitchell shows that African Americans performed and read the scripts in community settings to certify to each other that lynching victims were not the isolated brutes that dominant discourses made them out to be. Instead, the play scripts often described victims as honourable heads of households being torn from model domestic units by white violence. 410 0$aNew Black studies. 606 $aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican drama$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOne-act plays, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLynching in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aCitizenship in literature 615 0$aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOne-act plays, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLynching in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aCitizenship in literature. 676 $a812/.509896073 700 $aMitchell$b Koritha$01719037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810863803321 996 $aLiving with lynching$94116490 997 $aUNINA
