  • Banished

    Common Law and the Rhetoric of Social Exclusion in Early New England

    by Nan Goodman ...

  • Shifting the Blame

    Literature, Law, and the Theory of Accidents in Nineteenth Century America

    by Nan Goodman ...
    When someone gets hurt in an accident we reflexively ask a set of questions which ultimately comes down to who was blameworthy? Yet early nineteenth-century Americans were entirely, and to the modern reader, astonishingly, uninterested in this line of reasoning. Their concern was whether an accident had happened and not why. Nan Goodman takes this transformation in legal and popular thought about ... Read more

    The Law of Nations and the Early American Imagination

    Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class

    by Eric Lott ...
    Series series Race and American Culture
    For over two centuries, America has celebrated the same African-American culture it attempts to control and repress, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the strange practice of blackface performance. Born of extreme racial and class conflicts, the blackface minstrel show appropriated black dialect, music, and dance; at once applauded and lampooned black culture; and, ironically, ... Read more
