Excerpt from The Development of State Legislation Concerning the Free Negro: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Political Science in Columbia University
It is evident that complete generalizations concerning the general trend of legislation affecting the negro cannot be based on the laws dealt with in this volume alone. Only the carrying out of the original plan would have made possible a valid general summary of the trend of legislation concerning the negro in this country. It is the author's hope, however, that a complete review of the field indicated will prove more valuable than the possible results of an attempt to deal in an incomplete manner with the whole field.
The thorough treatment undertaken has involved much labor and difficult investigation. It would have been impossible except for the libraries of the New York Bar Association and the New York Law Institute, where the larger part of the investigation was done.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
