In this study of the gender of racial politics and violence in the United States, the author identifies a mangled and repressed homoeroticism lacing White men's hatred of Blacks. He has chosen lynching and prison rape to make explicit the homoeroticism that laces race relations and structures to the gender of racial politics and violence in this country. Despite the radical discontinuities between various historical periods from the antebellum and post-Reconstruction South to post-1960s urban prisons, there are certain nightmarish continuities or historical "throughlines" in American racial politics and violence, throughlines that express the historical and structural crisis of masculinity in the United States.
