Abstract

Abstract What are the long-run consequences of racial violence on intergenerational mobility? Do its impacts extend to the broader community? Using newly available longitudinal data covering much of the US population from 1989–2015, this study documents two results. First, it establishes a statistical association between the severity of lynching of Black Americans and long-run economic outcomes across the Southern United States. Counties that experienced racial violence most intensely in the past have lower levels of Black upward mobility today. Second, although most lynch victims were Black males, their long-run consequences are equally observable for the current generation of both Black males and females. Living in counties that experienced lynchings in the 19th and 20th centuries reduces Black upwardly mobile in the 21st century. These findings demonstrate that collective violence may hinder long-term intergenerational mobility for the broader affected community, irrespective of temporal proximity or sex.

代际不流动:种族暴力的遗产

种族暴力对代际流动的长期影响是什么?它的影响会延伸到更广泛的社区吗?利用1989年至2015年期间覆盖大部分美国人口的最新纵向数据，该研究记录了两个结果。首先，它建立了美国黑人私刑的严重程度与美国南部长期经济结果之间的统计关联。过去经历过最激烈种族暴力的县，今天黑人向上流动的水平较低。其次，尽管大多数私刑受害者是黑人男性，但对当代黑人男性和女性来说，其长期后果同样明显。生活在19世纪和20世纪经历过私刑的县，使黑人在21世纪无法向上流动。这些发现表明，集体暴力可能会阻碍更广泛的受影响社区的长期代际流动，而不考虑时间邻近或性别。

期刊介绍： Security Studies publishes innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – whether theoretical, empirical, or both – to our understanding of international security. Studies that do not emphasize the causes and consequences of war or the sources and conditions of peace fall outside the journal’s domain. Security Studies features articles that develop, test, and debate theories of international security – that is, articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research, contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools. While we encourage authors to discuss the policy implications of their work, articles that are primarily policy-oriented do not fit the journal’s mission. The journal publishes articles that challenge the conventional wisdom in the area of international security studies. Security Studies includes a wide range of topics ranging from nuclear proliferation and deterrence, civil-military relations, strategic culture, ethnic conflicts and their resolution, epidemics and national security, democracy and foreign-policy decision making, developments in qualitative and multi-method research, and the future of security studies.
