Recenzii
'Anne Twitty's compact and compelling book prompts us to redraw regional borders and rethink legal cultures. In contrast to the longstanding view of the 'American Confluence' as a house divided, a place where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers bounded conflicting regimes of slave and free labor, Before Dred Scott forwards an alternative mapping characterized by fluid borders and connected by a common legal culture with remarkably deep roots among diverse populations. The book will not settle arguments about regions and rules of law, but it will provoke some very productive ones.' Stephen Aron, Robert N. Burr Department Chair, Department of History, University of California, Los Angeles
'Anne Twitty has brilliantly illuminated a significant chapter in the struggle against slavery - the hundreds of 'freedom suits' brought by persons invoking the doctrine of 'once free, always free' to claim that their prior status as free persons invalidated their enslavement. Not all of them succeeded, but Twitty has done more than show what happened in the courtroom. She has given historical presence to the lives of the freedom seekers: to her exhaustive research into their lives she has added a sure-handed and creative touch that makes this book one of the most significant contributions to antislavery scholarship in many years.' David Konig, Washington University, St Louis
'… Twitty offers fresh insights into the case of the famous slave sojourner from Missouri. … Twitty adds a new layer to our understanding of the complex relationship between slavery and American legal culture.' Timothy S. Huebner, Missouri Historical Review
'Drawing on 282 freedom suits, Twitty seeks to depict how law operated as a contested reality amid the indeterminacy that defined both race and race-based status. Following the maturing historiography moving beyond the black-letter law of statutes and codes, Twitty probes what she describes as a legal culture constructed by everyday interactions. In short, she reaches to law as a lived reality rather than as an inscribed text … enlightening …' Thomas J. Davis, The Journal of American History
