The five essays in Slave Laws in Virginia explore two centuries of the everchanging relationship between a major slave society and the laws that guided it. The topics covered are diverse, including the African judicial background of African American slaves, Thomas Jeffersons relationship with the laws of slavery, the capital punishment of slaves, nineteenthcentury penal transportation of slaves from Virginia as related to the interstate slave trade and the changing market for slaves, and Virginias experience with its own fugitive slave laws. Through the history of one large extended family of exslaves, Philip J. Schwarzs conclusion examines how the law shaped the interaction between former slaves and masters after emancipation.Instead of relying on a static view of these two centuries, the author focuses on the diverse and changing ways that lawmakers and law enforcers responded to slaves behavior and to whites perceptions of and assumptions about that behavior.
