Gregg Crane examines the interaction between civic identity and
race and justice within American law and literature in this study.
He recounts the efforts of literary and legal figures to bring the
nation's law in accord with the moral consensus that slavery and
racial oppression are evil. Covering such writers as Harriet
Beecher Stowe and Frederick Douglass, and a range of novelists,
poets, philosophers, politicians, lawyers and judges, this original
book will revise the relationship between race and nationalism in
American literature.
