Democracy Abroad, Lynching at Home: Racial Violence in FloridaReviews:

Humanities and Social Sciences Online (H-Net) (February 2016) by Brandon Jett

Journal of American History (Winter 2016) by W. Fitzhugh Brundage

Journal of Southern History (Winter 2016) by Mari Crabtree

American Historical Review (Fall 2016) by Michael Pfeifer

“In short, Hobbs offers us one of the best local studies of southern lynching; while we now have a number of studies of individual lynchings and groups of lynching cases within particular southern states, Hobbs provides us perhaps the most deeply researched and persuasively contextualized of such studies. The book is highly recommended for all interested in the history of American lynching, southern violence, Florida history, and African American history.”
