“Viewed alongside the lynching, today’s death penalty suggests a radical inversion of form, a mirror image, a reformed present that vehemently rejects its past. This negative symmetry is so striking that we must suppose that the contemporary American death penalty has, in important respects been designed to be an antilynching — and that is precisely the hypothesis that will be pursued here.” David Garland, Peculiar Institution: America’s Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition, p. 34.<\/p>\n

Assignment: Relying on the first six chapters, (PAGES 9-182), i.e., the assigned readings, write an essay discussing how well or poorly (or some combination) Garland achieves his stated goal.
