This book interrogates the nature and state of African American
citizenship through the prism of Social Contract Theory.
Challenging the United States' commitment to African American
citizenship, this book explores the idea of Social Nullification,
the decision to reject, revoke and re-define the social contract
with a state and society. Charles F. Peterson surveys the history
of Social Contract Theory, examines Nullification as political and
legal theory, argues public policy as a measure of the state's
commitment to the contractarian relationship and frames the
writings and activism of Martin R. Delany, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and
the African American Reparations Movement as examples of Social
Nullification and challenges to the terms of Black life in America.
