About This Book

L'ouvrage commence par une étude documentée de l'esclavage et des punitions corporelles en Amérique, décrivant pratiques et justifications sociales avec des détails souvent choquants et la volonté d'exposer la réalité sans euphémismes. Il propose ensuite un épisode situé en Virginie pendant la guerre de Sécession qui met en scène les tensions et les conséquences humaines liées à l'institution servile. L'auteur interroge par ailleurs l'hypocrisie morale et la pruderie sociale qui contribuent à masquer ou aggraver ces violences. Le texte se clôt par une bibliographie raisonnée des principaux travaux français et anglais sur la flagellation pour orienter les lecteurs vers d'autres sources.
