摘要
Poets like Michael S. Harper, Larry Neal, Dudley Randall, Sonia Sanchez, and Etheridge Knight draw upon images of the bodily trauma caused by extralegal capital punishment to historicize the violence and oppression that dominate contemporary African American life. In doing so, they critique notions of progress by asserting that lynching's terror and the discourse of white supremacy that it legitimated continue under the guise of institutionalized and structural violence.
