Southern Anthropological Society James Mooney Award - Honorable Mention Drawing on new methods and theories, Edward González-Tennant uncovers important elements of the forgotten history of Rosewood. He uses a mix of techniques such as geospatial analysis, interpretation of remotely sensed data, analysis of census data and property records, oral history, and the excavation and interpretation of artifacts from the site to reconstruct the local landscape. González-Tennant interprets these and other data through an intersectional framework, acknowledging the complex ways class, race, gender, and other identities compound discrimination. This allows him to explore the local circumstances and broader sociopolitical power structures that led to the massacre, showing how the event was a microcosm of the oppression and terror suffered by African Americans and other minorities in the United States. González-Tennant connects these historic forms of racial violence to present-day social and racial inequality and argues that such continuities demonstrate the need to make events like the Rosewood massacre public knowledge. A volume in the series Cultural Heritage Studies, edited by Paul A. Shackel

The Rosewood atrocity of January 1-7, 1923, destroyed the rural African American community of Rosewood, Florida, in an act of mob violence, but went officially unrecorded. Under pressure from cultural denial, it became a bizarre secret by the time it was unearthed in 1982 by journalist Gary Moore, who publicized it first in the St. Petersburg Times, where he was on staff, and then took it to "60 Minutes," where he served as background reporter on a television segment airing in 1983. Tracing the previously uninterviewed Rosewood survivors, witnesses and other informants, Moore has become acknowledged as the authority on the Rosewood evidence, assigned as consultant in 1994 by separate investigations by the Florida Attorney General's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement during the Rosewood claims case of 1991-1994 in the Florida Legislature. He was contracted to provide a summary of the events in an inquiry by the Florida State University System, and presently receives information referrals from the Southeastern Regional Black Archives at Florida A & M University and University Press of Florida. The Rosewood case has emerged as a landmark not only in racial injustice but in mass psychology, revealing the workings of mass denial and mass media distortion. Its witness pool, whose evidence helps reveal the ways that public truth was warped, may be the largest such body of informants ever consulted in a retrospective of a rural enigma from the "Lynching Era." The case has also produced the nation's first governmental financial award in belated compensation for a Lynching Era atrocity (May 4, 1994: $2.1 million).Rosewood: The Full Story seeks to place the complicated body of Rosewood evidence before the public for the first time, adhering to narrative form but without violating the picture that the evidence presents. This necessarily means addressing and debunking a body of various myths that have arisen around a highly controversial subject. An informant pool of more than 100 individuals, including eyewitnesses, secondary informants and local authorities, is supplemented and tested by a large body of background documentation from the community, such as records of births, deaths, marriages, property deeds, criminal indictments and other documentation--though the "racial cleansing" of 1923 did not itself become a subject of any official record and was effectively excised from surviving governmental and law enforcement files. The result--a plethora of peripheral records, local legends and post-traumatic narratives--presents a deep challenge to the expositor attempting to bring the full picture clearly and readably to the public.Rosewood: The Full Story uses this evidence to trace a picture of the secretive mob violence that destroyed the community of Rosewood, noting the classic features of that violence, as well as patterns of false pleading and myth that have tended to obscure the reality. The fury that swelled suddenly to consume an isolated settlement had the appearance, once the evidence is known, of what might be called human weather. In journalism and as an employee of the United Nations and investigator of atrocities in the Balkans and Latin America, the author has seen the ways that such storms not only crush lives but devastate public truth as their truths hide behind illusions. This book is moved by a hope that the "storms" of mass violence may be more systematically understood.

In late July 1910, a shocking number of African Americans in Texas were slaughtered by white mobs in the Slocum area of Anderson County and the Percilla-Augusta region of neighboring Houston County. The number of dead surpassed the casualties of the Rosewood Massacre in Florida and rivaled those of the Tulsa Riots in Oklahoma, but the incident--one of the largest mass murders of blacks in American history--is now largely forgotten. Investigate the facts behind this harrowing act of genocide in E.R. Bills's compelling inquiry into the Slocum Massacre.

A symbolic embodiment of racial violence and hatred, “The Beast” openly prowled the nation between the Civil War and the civil rights movement. The reasons it appeared varied, with psychological, political, and economic dynamics all playing a part, but the outcome was always brutal--if not deadly. From the bombing of Harriette and Harry T. Moore’s home on Christmas Day to Willie James Howard’s murder, from the Rosewood massacre to the Newberry Six lynchings, Marvin Dunn offers an encyclopedic catalogue of The Beast’s rampages in Florida. Instead of simply taking snapshots of incidents, Dunn provides context for a century’s worth of racial violence by examining communities over time. Crucial insights from interviews with descendants of both perpetrators and victims shape this study of Florida’s grim racial history. Rather than pointing fingers and placing blame, The Beast in Florida allows voices and facts to speak for themselves, facilitating a conversation on the ways in which racial violence changed both black and white lives forever. With this comprehensive and balanced look at racially motivated events, Dunn reveals the Sunshine State’s too-often forgotten—or intentionally hidden—past. The result is a panorama of compelling human stories: its emergent dialogue challenges conceptions of what created and maintained The Beast.

Rosewood Florida was originally settled in 1845 by both Black and white people. Black codes and Jim Crow laws in the years after the Civil War fostered segregation in Rosewood. A white woman, 22-year-old Fannie Taylor, claimed a black man had entered her house and assaulted her. This was never proved and her white lover was suspected to be the real culprit. However, word spread and the resulting "Rosewood Massacre" was an attack on the predominantly African American town on January 1, 1923 by large groups of white aggressors, including the Ku Klux Klan. The town was entirely burned and destroyed by the end of the violence, which saw two white men and many blacks killed, and the residents driven out permanently. This book "Rosewood 1923 - Smoke and Sorrow" outlines the events of that sad time in Florida's history.

“Brilliantly underscores how the manifestations of modern alienation and social inequality must be at the center of any truly anthropological analysis in the twenty-first century. This fantastic volume makes us comprehend the immense complexities of violent modernity and will compel us to critically interrogate our past, our present, and our future.”—Daniel O. Sayers, author of A Desolate Place for a Defiant People: The Archaeology of Maroons, Indigenous Americans, and Enslaved Laborers in the Great Dismal Swamp Drawing on material evidence from daily life in a coal-mining town, this book offers an up-close view of the political economy of the United States over the course of the twentieth century. This community’s story illustrates the great ironies of this era, showing how modernist progress and plenty were inseparable from the destructive cycles of capitalism. At the heart of this book is one of the bloodiest yet least-known acts of labor violence in American history, the 1897 Lattimer Massacre, in which 19 striking immigrant mineworkers were killed and 40 more were injured. Michael Roller looks beneath this moment of outright violence at the everyday material and spatial conditions that supported it, pointing to the growth of shanty enclaves on the periphery of the town that reveal the reliance of coal companies on immigrant surplus labor. Roller then documents the changing landscape of the region after the event as the anthracite coal industry declined, as well as community redevelopment efforts in the late twentieth century. This rare sustained geographical focus and long historical view illuminates the rise of soft forms of power and violence over workers, citizens, and consumers between the late 1800s and the present day. Roller expertly blends archaeology, labor history, ethnography, and critical social theory to demonstrate how the archaeology of the recent past can uncover the deep foundations of today’s social troubles. Michael P. Roller is a research affiliate of the Anthropology Department of the University of Maryland. Currently, he is employed as an archaeologist for the National Park Service.

The 1921 Tulsa Race Riot was the country's bloodiest civil disturbance of the century. Thirty city blocks were burned to the ground, perhaps 150 died, and the prosperous black community of Greenwood, Oklahoma, was turned to rubble. Brophy draws on his own extensive research into contemporary accounts and court documents to chronicle this devastating riot, showing how and why the rule of law quickly eroded. Brophy shines his lights on mob violence and racism run amok, both on the night of the riot and the following morning. Equally important, he shows how the city government and police not only permitted looting, shootings, and the burning of Greenwood, but actively participated in it by deputizing white citizens haphazardly, giving out guns and badges, or sending men to arm themselves. Likewise, the National Guard acted unconstitutionally, arresting every black resident they found, leaving property vulnerable to the white mob. Brophy's stark narrative concludes with a discussion of reparations for victims of the riot through lawsuits and legislative action. That case has implications for other reparations movements, including reparations for slavery. "Recovers a largely forgotten history of black activism in one of the grimmest periods of race relations.... Linking history with advocacy, Brophy also offers a reasoned defense of reparations for the riot's victims."--Washington Post Book World
