内容简介：
The brutal lynching of two young black men in Marion, Indiana,
on August 7, 1930, cast a shadow over the town that still lingers.
It is only one event in the long and complicated history of race
relations in Marion, a history much ignored and considered by many
to be best forgotten. But the lynching cannot be forgotten. It is
too much a part of the fabric of Marion, too much ingrained even
now in the minds of those who live there. In Our Town
journalist Cynthia Carr explores the issues of race, loyalty, and
memory in America through the lens of a specific hate crime that
occurred in Marion but could have happened anywhere.
Marion is our town, America’s town, and its legacy is our
legacy.
Like everyone in Marion, Carr knew the basic details of the
lynching even as a child: three black men were arrested for
attempted murder and rape, and two of them were hanged in the
courthouse square, a fate the third miraculously escaped. Meeting
James Cameron–the man who’d survived–led her to examine how the
quiet Midwestern town she loved could harbor such dark secrets.
Spurred by the realization that, like her, millions of white
Americans are intimately connected to this hidden history, Carr
began an investigation into the events of that night, racism in
Marion, the presence of the Ku Klux Klan–past and present–in
Indiana, and her own grandfather’s involvement. She uncovered a
pattern of white guilt and indifference, of black anger and fear
that are the hallmark of race relations across the country.
In a sweeping narrative that takes her from the angry energy of a
white supremacist rally to the peaceful fields of Weaver–once an
all-black settlement neighboring Marion–in search of the good and
the bad in the story of race in America, Carr returns to her roots
to seek out the fascinating people and places that have shaped the
town. Her intensely compelling account of the Marion lynching and
of her own family’s secrets offers a fresh examination of the
complex legacy of whiteness in America. Part mystery, part history,
part true crime saga, Our Town is a riveting read that lays
bare a raw and little-chronicled facet of our national memory and
provides a starting point toward reconciliation with the
past.
On August 7, 1930, three black teenagers were dragged from their
jail cells in Marion, Indiana, and beaten before a howling mob. Two
of them were hanged; by fate the third escaped. A photo taken that
night shows the bodies hanging from the tree but focuses on the
faces in the crowd—some enraged, some laughing, and some subdued,
perhaps already feeling the first pangs of regret.
Sixty-three years later, journalist Cynthia Carr began searching
the photo for her grandfather’s face.

编辑推荐
"Whatever the ultimate literary verdict on this sorrowful and
penetrating but uneven book, I cannot think of a nonfiction author
in this country who has so bravely taken up [James] Baldwin's dare.
Carr calls her volume "Our Town" without a trace of irony or
superiority. While she certainly has no desire to exculpate the
murderers of 1930 or their flagrantly bigoted successors today,
neither does she intend to condemn them in order to elevate more
enlightened whites like herself. Family history has offered her no
such luxury." —Samuel G. Freedman, New York Times Book
Review
“Cynthia Carr goes deep into the heart of our national darkness—the
public ritual of violence we call the lynching. Carr investigates
its aftermath in a small town and, page by page, we understand
everything that we can, experiencing the shock, the disgust, and
the harrowing heartbreak that always attend murder wearing the
blues mask of ‘rough justice.’ Carr’s clear-eyed rendering of her
quest follows the transformation of that murder from a rumor to a
collective act to a disputed fact that sits uneasily in the memory
of a community.” —Stanley Crouch, author of The Artificial White
Man: Essays on Authenticity
