About this book

Describes and evaluates some of the legal developments from the Reconstruction period to the 1950s on both federal and state levels, and attempts to formulate some general principles on the relation between law and custom, public opinion and the mores, and to evaluate the efficacy of law as a means of controlling prejudice and discrimination.
