Description

A. Leon Higginbotham provides an account of the interaction between the law and racial oppression in America from colonial times to the present. The issue of racial inferiority is central to this volume, as Higginbotham documents how early white perceptions of black inferiority slowly became codified into law. In the book, a noted scholar and a celebrated jurist offers a work of scope giving insight which ranges from the earliest colonial times to the present.
