BLACK OUTLAWS - CARLYLE V THOMPSON KARTONIERT (TB)

In this provocative and original exploration of Black males and the legal establishment 
Carlyle Van Thompson illuminates the critical issues defining Black male subjectivity. Since
the days of Black people's enslavement and the days of Jim Crow segregation  Black males have
been at odds with the legal and extra-legal restrictions that would maintain white supremacy
and white male privilege. Grounded in the voices of Frederick Douglass and David Walker  who
challenged hegemonic systems designed to socio-economically disenfranchise Black people  Black
Outlaws examines legal aspects with regard to Black males during the period of segregation. By
critically looking at Richard Wright's The Outsider  Chester Bomar Himes' The Third Generation
Walter Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress  and Ernest J. Gaines' A Lesson Before Dying - all of
which examine Black males during the Jim Crow period - Thompson investigates the challenges
that Black males confront and surmount in their journeys to establish their individual and
collective agency. Black Outlaws helps decipher critical legal and racial issues in the works
of four of the most important Black male writers  and is suitable for readers in literary
studies  cultural studies  and history.
