Publisher Synopsis
Murray has compiled an illuminating volume on the subject of racial attitudes and practices as reflected in state laws. . . . Excellent charts and useful classifications facilitate referenceand comparative study of these laws.|Murray's book is the most comprehensive, detailed and current compilation in her field of study. It includes not only the laws but the pertinent Federal decisions and regional compacts.|In this volume Murray has made a useful compilation of international, federal, territorial, state, and municipal statutes. . . . This book would be a valuable addition to the library of any student of the race problem as well as a useful reference work for lawyers.|Murray examines the laws of each state regarding race and includes items from the constitution and statutes where they apply to the subject. While all laws are not included because of the exhaustive research necessary, the volume makes readily available, state by state, information which can be utilized. Even the layman reading this reference work can get some understanding of the vagaries of the human mind as law makers spout their venom incertain of our states. Read more...
