Abstract
This paper underscores that so far comparative historians of segregation have largely neglected a detailed examination of extra-legal violence in the two countries. The use of violence by relatively powerful white elites against and on behalf of the state has been a central but inchoate feature of the histories of South Africa and the United States. Once the two societies were founded as white settler states, no century passed without some major flashpoint becoming the defining event or process of the era.
