Redemption Songs: Suing for Freedom before Dred Scott
VanderVelde, Lea (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, University of Iowa)
While hundreds of books have been written about slavery, in the main they tend to be either microhistories of individual slaves and slave families or broad social histories of the peculiar institution. Redemption Songs uniquely features both approaches. VanderVelde not only knits together the stories of a dozen distinct individuals with one thing in common-their status as litigants-and little else, she also provides a rich and eye-opening account of the legalfoundations of the larger system.
