It happened just outside of Jasper, a sleepy East Texas logging town that, within twenty-four hours of the discovery of the murder, would be inextricably linked in the nations imagination to an exceptionally brutal, modern-day lynching.</p><p>In this superbly written examination of the murder and its aftermath, award-winning journalist Joyce King brings us on a journey that begins at the crime scene and extends into the minds of the young men who so casually ended a mans life. She takes us inside the prison in which two of them met for the first time, and she shows how it played a major role in shaping their attitudesracial and otherwise. The result is a deeply engrossing psychological portrait of the accused and a powerful indictment of the American prison systems ability to reform criminals. Finally, King writes with candor and clarity about how the events of that fateful night have affected heras a black woman, a native Texan, and a journalist given the agonizing assignment of covering the trials of all three defendants. More than a spectacular true-crime debut, <em>Hate Crime</em> is a breathtaking work of reportage and a searing look at how the question of race continues to shape life in America.</p>...4029712Hate Crime106117https://www.gandhi.com.mx/hate-crime-9780307807670/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2579877/3ba3914c-80d4-4ec5-8b22-50bc00ae94ff.jpg?v=638384167660330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119780307807670_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_<p>On June 7, 1998, James Byrd, Jr., a forty-nine-year-old black man, was dragged to his death while chained to the back of a pickup truck driven by three young white men.
