Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the American South, in the period after the Civil War, many former slaves were thrust into positions of uncertainty and power as freedmen, while white society struggled to adjust to the new racial order. This book examines the strategies and mechanisms used by white Southerners to reassert social control over the freed slaves. The author focuses on the legal system, which became a crucial tool for white Southerners to maintain dominance over African Americans. Through case studies, the author examines how white Southerners used the courts to criminalise black behaviour, restrict their access to property and education, and limit their participation in politics. This book provides a much-needed analysis of the legal strategies used to maintain white supremacy in the post-Civil War South, and its insights are still relevant to understanding racial inequality today. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333429003_0
