Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the intersection of race, property, and ethics, Lovalerie King critiques American law's portrayal of African Americans, particularly the stereotype of the black thief. Analyzing over two centuries of literature, she highlights how property ownership is tied to human value, while systemic barriers restrict access for black individuals. Through close readings of notable autobiographies and fiction, King reveals the impact of slavery and Jim Crow on these stereotypes. Her work combines historical, literary, and legal perspectives to illuminate the complexities of race and economic opportunity in African American narratives.
