- This 360 page monograph has its origins in a New York University PhD and was further supported by an ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowship at Columbia University. It is based on a vast archival base, including the records of local courts as well as state supreme courts. In total it focuses on almost a thousand civil cases between black and white litigants across eight southern states. It shows that black men and women were far more able to negotiate the southern legal system during the era of Jim Crow than was previously realized.
