The Development of State Legislation Concerning the Free Negro
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly examines all state and federal statutes, from the earliest to 1917, pertaining to the free black population in the United States. Through the lens of these laws, the author demonstrates how the black community was historically affected by policies of separation, and through case examples, clarifies how legal codes simultaneously attempted to further and restrict the black presence in American life. The author traces the progression of laws dictating interracial conduct in schools, transportation, and public spaces, and explores how these laws reflected the ever-changing social and political climate of the time. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the legal history of race relations in the United States and the labyrinthine ways in which the law has both enshrined and challenged the principle of equality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332320783_0
