Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, drawing from the field of politics, culture, history, and political economy, explores the particular structure of the rule of law in South Carolina. The author focuses on two levels of law, state and federal, arguing that the state level of law can be used as a tool of oppression against African Americans, through the use of vagrancy laws, convict leasing, and police violence. Turning to the federal level, the author argues that while the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was meant to protect African Americans from state oppression, the United States Supreme Court has frequently chipped away at the amendmentâs effectiveness. In this work, the author presents a historical analysis of how state and federal institutions of law have enabled and perpetuated a system of racial oppression and violence against African Americans in South Carolina.
