This research project aims to answer the question - what was the relationship between rumour and racial violence in the late 19th Century America? It will address rumours as an individual entity, examining impacts, patterns and types. Rumours themselves serve as the central focus of the research rather than featuring in the background as they do in other historical studies. The proposed project also aims to address why rumours concerning non-whites were so pervasive as well as how and why fear of non-whites spread through these rumours.

这个研究项目旨在回答这样一个问题--在世纪后期的美国，谣言和种族暴力之间的关系是什么？它将把谣言作为一个单独的实体来处理，审查其影响、模式和类型。谣言本身是研究的中心焦点，而不是像其他历史研究那样作为背景。拟议的项目还旨在解决为什么关于非白人的谣言如此普遍，以及如何和为什么对非白人的恐惧通过这些谣言传播。
