The Rope, the Chair, and the Needle: Capital Punishment in Texas, 1923-1990 Paperback - 1998
by James W. Marquart; Sheldon Ekland-Olson; Jonathan R. Sorensen
From the rear cover
This book is the single most comprehensive examination to date of capital punishment in any one state, drawing on data for legal executions from 1819 to 1990. The authors show persuasively how slavery and the racially biased practice of lynching in Texas led to the institutionalization and public approval of executions skewed according to race, class, and gender, and they also track long-term changes in public opinion up to the present.
