Originally published: Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina
Press, 1940. viii, 436 pp. This was the first comprehensive
treatise on the legal status of the African-American as interpreted
by United States courts in cases involving civil rights and
citizenship. Some of the topics examined in this work are land
ownership, involuntary servitude, segregation, failure to provide
accommodations in charitable and penal institutions, interracial
marriage, illegitimate offspring and adoption, as well as
consideration of such factors as mob domination at trials of
African-Americans, race discrimination in jury selection, racial
prejudice of jurors, the voting franchise during reconstruction and
its aftermath and attempts to keep African-Americans away from the
polls. While lacking a table of cases per se, the treatise is
well-annotated with citations to relevant cases, and includes a
bibliography and index.
Charles S. Mangum, Jr. 1902-1980] was a Research Fellow at the
University of North Carolina. His other notable work is The Legal
Status of the Tenant Farmer in the Southeast (1952).
"An enormous compendium of cases, it is a product of sound and
painstaking scholarship, brilliant in design, thorough in
execution, and deft in style." -Jerome H. Springarn, Columbia Law
