Drawing on court cases spanning more than a century, he examines the moves and countermoves of attorneys and judges who participated in the geopolitics of slavery and emancipation; in the development of Jim Crow segregation, which effectively created apartheid laws in many cities; and in debates over the \"doctrine of changed conditions,\" which challenged the legality of restrictive covenants and private contracts designed to exclude people of color from white neighborhoods. This historical investigation yields new insights into the patterns of segregation that persist in American society today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Delaney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292715978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292715974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.98w x 0.61d","brand":"David Delaney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981530693887,"sku":"9780292715974","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ee338ef-366e-409d-a007-ce574ddd5533.jpg?v=1683256122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-place-and-the-law-david-delaney-9780292715974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
