SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Whispered Consolations, Jon-Christian Suggs examines the tradition of American law as it appears in African American literary life, from pre-Revolutionary murder trials to gangsta rap. This exciting approach changes our pictures of both American law and African American literature." "This book will appeal to students and scholars of literary and cultural studies, law and literature, and American history, as well as to scholars of African American literature and culture."--Jacket
