The three-part narrative, focusing on the law of accidental injury, nervous shock, and racial segregation in public transit, captures Americans' journey from a cultural and legal ethos celebrating manly independence and autonomy to one that recognized and sought to protect the individual against the corporate power, modern technology and modern urban space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Young Welke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521649668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521649667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.12w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2002 pg. 171","brand":"Barbara Young Welke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054842704127,"sku":"9780521649667","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1336d8a5-a24e-44cd-b946-364dd0db47fc.jpg?v=1685032317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recasting-american-liberty-barbara-young-welke-9780521649667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
