   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en_US">This paper is an exploration of the ways in which the social categories of gender, race, and religion intersected in the development and perpetuation of the discourse of lynching, particularly as this discourse relates to the era of spectacle lynching (late 1880s to early 1930s). After offering an historical and ritual analysis of the  practice of lynching, examining the ways this practice reified and perpetuated a normative social discourse concerned with white supremacy, anti-blackness, and patriarchal control, it then returns to the modern day, examining how this discourse is present and continues to be perpetuated within modern American culture.</dim:field>
