PHILIP J. SCHWARZ, Professor of History at Virginia Commonwealth University, is the author of Twice Condemned: Slaves and the Criminal Laws of Virginia, 1705-1865 and Slave Laws in Virginia.
"Raises provocative and complex questions, How conscientious were authorities in investigating and punishing black-on-black crime? Why have historians practically ignored antebellum free black southerners excepting those accused or convicted of crimes?... This book, a worthy addition to the southern history bookshelf, should stimulate similar slavery studies." - Journal of American History"
