LEGAL HISTORY

The Greatest and the Grandest Act

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 from Reconstruction to Today Edited by Christian G. Samito

Defining national citizenship and protecting civil rights In this volume, ten expert historians and legal

president to use the nation’s military in its

the first federal civil rights statute in American

Amendment operated to overturn the Dred

scholars examine the Civil Rights Act of 1866, history. The act declared that all persons born in the United States were citizens without regard to race, color, or previous condition

of slavery. Designed to give the Thirteenth Amendment practical effect as former slave states enacted laws limiting the rights of African Americans, this measure for the first

time defined U.S. citizenship and the rights associated with it.

Essays examine the history and legal

ramifications of the act and highlight

competing impulses within it, including the

often-neglected Section 9, which allows the

enforcement; investigate how the Thirteenth Scott case; and illuminate New England’s role in the passage of the act. Also analyzed is

the operation of the act in several states such

as Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina

during Reconstruction. Also considered is the act and its interpretation by the Supreme

Court during its first decades. Other essays include a discussion of the act in terms of

contract rights and in the context of the post– World War II Civil Rights Era as well as an

analysis of the act’s backward-looking and forward-looking nature.

Christian G. Samito holds a law degree and a doctorate in history, practices law,

and teaches legal history at Boston University School of Law. He wrote Lincoln and the Thirteenth Amendment and Becoming American under Fire: Irish Americans, African Americans, and the Politics of Citizenship during the Civil War Era.

CIVIL WAR / NEW IN PAPER

An Illustrated Guide to Virginia’s Confederate Monuments Timothy S. Sedore

Offering an expansive collection of memorials to Virginia’s Civil War past From well-known battlefields, such as Manas-

Much more than a visual tapestry or a

sas, Fredericksburg, and Appomattox, to

tourist’s handbook, An Illustrated Guide to

Cemetery and Rude’s Hill, Sedore leads

scholarly and field research to reveal these

lesser-known sites, such as Sinking Spring

readers on a vivid journey through Virginia’s Confederate history. Tablets, monoliths,

courthouses, cemeteries, town squares, bat-

tlefields, and more are cataloged in detail and accompanied by photographs and meticulous commentary. Each entry contains

descriptions, fascinating historical information, and location, providing a complete portrait of each site.

Virginia’s Confederate Monuments draws on sites as public efforts to reconcile mourning

with Southern postwar ideologies. Sedore an-

alyzes in depth the nature of these attempts to publicly explain Virginia’s sense of grief after

the war, delving deep into the psychology of a traumatized area. From commemorations of famous generals to memories of unknown

soldiers, the dead speak from the pages of this sweeping companion to history.

Challenging the media’s distorted images of incarceration When most people think of prison life, they

examine the ways in which media messages

imagine the stereotypes that have been however, is much different. This book looks at popular depictions of prison, the function

and influence of television and film in shaping

discourse on prison life, and wide-ranging personal experiences of incarceration,

ultimately challenging the media’s inaccuracies and misrepresentations about the prison experience.

Essays in this volume illustrate how shows

such as Orange Is the New Black and Oz

impact the public’s perception of crime rates, the criminal justice system, and imprisonment.

Contributors look specifically at prison wives

in reality television, portrayals of death row,

prisoners, and black masculinity. They also

ignore an individual’s struggle against an all too frequently biased system and instead dehumanize the incarcerated as violent

and overwhelmingly masculine. Scholars

from cultural and critical studies, feminist studies, queer studies, African American

studies, media studies, sociology, and psychology offer critical analysis of media

depictions of prison life and rich ethnographic

work. Together they address identity and experience in prison populations, bridging

the media’s portrayals of incarcerated lives

with actual experiences and bringing to light forgotten voices in prison narratives.

THEATER

Californios, Anglos, and the Performance of Oligarchy in the U.S. West Andrew Gibb How the first generation of Mexican Americans Fashioned a New Nation

Andrew Gibb argues that the mid-nine-

meeting rooms of the California Club in down-

californios—the Spanish-speaking elites who

top of San Francisco’s Nob Hill to the dining

teenth-century encounter between Anglos and ruled Mexican California between 1821 and 1848—resulted not only in the Americanization

of California but also the “Mexicanization” of

town Los Angeles and the Pacific-Union at the rooms and parlors of Pasadena mansions and Hillsborough estates.

This study draws on performance studies,

Americans. Employing performance studies

theatre historiography, and New Western His-

historical events, Gibb traces how oligarchy

of historical California were constituted and

methodologies in his analysis of everyday and evolved and developed in the region.

The oligarchic rule of the californios has

significantly shaped the social and political development of the greater U.S. West from the

nineteenth century to the present day. Traces

of that power are still visible in the places where

California’s elites continue to gather—from the

tory to identify how the unique power relations

perpetuated through public performances—not only traditional theatrical productions but also

social events such as elite weddings and community dances—and historical events such as

the U.S. seizure of the city of Monterey, the feting of Commodore Stockton in San Francisco, and the Bear Flag Revolt.
