Question 6

What did Ken Gonzales-Day do?

Answer 6

Gonzales-Day started to look at current media imagery of Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans and wanted to know more about where these stereotypes and this criminalization were coming from. He recognized a new form of vigilantism on the rise at the border after 9/11 and placed this trend in a history of vigilante violence.This inquiry led him to research an often-forgotten and silenced history of lynching in the West.

Question 7

What did Ken Gonzales Day discover about latinos?

Answer 7

He found that more Latinos were lynched in the American West than any other race, and his work explores this. Lynching is a practice whereby a mob - usually several dozen or several hundred persons - takes the law into its own hands in order to injure and kill, usually by hanging, a person accused of some wrongdoing - without a legal trial.
