A book by my friend Mark Weiner (whom I had the privilege of teaching and getting to know when I visited at Yale Law School back in 1998-99), who is now a legal historian in the law school at Rutgers-Newark, will be published in a few weeks by Knopf: Black Trials uses court cases involving Blacks to illuminate race relations in the United States. I've heard Mark present and talk about these ideas on a number of occasions, and it is fascinating stuff, that non-historians will enjoy.
