Civil Rights in the Shadow of Slavery: The Constitution, Common Law, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866
Rutherglen, George A. (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA)
The 1866 Civil Rights Act is one of the most monumental pieces of legislation in American history, figuring into almost every subsequent piece of legislation dealing with civil rights for the next century. While numerous scholars have looked at it in the larger social and political context of Reconstruction and its relationship with the Fourteenth Amendment, this will be the first book that focuses on its central role in the long history of civil rights.
