This is Volume 2 of a two-volume rhetorical history of public debates about crime, violence, and corporeal and capital punishment in the US. While Volume 1 provided a historical overview of capital punishment, Volume 2 analyzes historical cases highlighting debates on the death penalty during the period, especially exchanges between George Barrell Cheever, a Calvinist minister, and John O'Sullivan, editor of an abolitionist magazine. The debaters draw their arguments from the work of writers and thinkers of the Revolutionary and Federalist eras, which were covered in Volume 1. B&w historical illustrations are included. Together, the two volumes map how the country's debates about the death penalty influenced thinking about national identity and character, gender and sexuality, class and capitalism, religion and modernity, race and slavery, and Enlightenment and democracy. Hartnett teaches communication at the University of Colorado-Denver. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)



This eye-opening and well-researched companion to the first volume of Executing Democracy enters the death-penalty discussion during the debates of 1835 and 1843.

Recenzijas

The historical relationship between democracy and the death penalty in America is vexed and bloody. Stephen John Hartnett faces it without blinking. In Executing Democracy, past meets present in a profound combination of learning, experience, eloquence, and passion.

Marcus Rediker, Distinguished Professor, University of Pittsburgh Having missed his calling as a writer for the Police Gazette, Stephen Hartnett has settled for documenting American democracys perplexing relationship with capital punishment. This second volume provides rigorous scholarship and nuanced readings of diverse texts, but its also a page-turner. Hartnett understands how public culture can be both sensationalistic and deliberative, and how in public discussion of capital cases democracy itself is on trial.

Robert Hariman, Professor and Chair, Department of Communication Studies, Northwestern University
