About this book
Margaret Burnham examines how legal institutions helped sustain racial hierarchy under Jim Crow. Historical cases from the American South show the relationship between official authority and everyday intimidation, including the failure to investigate deaths. Her study considers local sheriffs, competing jurisdictions and the gaps in records that have obscured the experiences of Black communities.
