A study of the law and culture of slavery in the antebellum Deep South that takes readers into local courtrooms where people settled their civil disputes over property. This work sheds light on the law as a dramatic ritual in people's daily lives, and advances critical historical debates about law, honor, and commerce in the American South.
ARIELA J. GROSS is a professor of law and history at the University of Southern California, where she is also codirector of the Center for Law, History, and Culture.
