SHGAPE Blog Series Crime and Punishment - First Post

Dear H-SHGAPE Subscribers

 

The editors at the SHGAPE Blog are pleased to share the first installment in our "Crime and Punishment" series, which explores histories of violence, law, criminal justice, and incarceration during the Gilded age and Progressive Era. The post, "Regulating Freedom in Georgia's County Court" is by Dr. Jonathon Booth and explores the battle over the contours of the legal system in Reconstruction-Era Georgia and its impact on the rights and freedom of freedmen and women.

Dear H-SHGAPE Subscribers,

 

The SHGAPE Blog is seeking submissions for blog posts to be published in our new series on Crime and Punishment in the GAPE. We are looking for posts that broadly engage with that topic, including histories of violence (political, interpersonal, economic, etc.), legal history, the history of the US criminal justice system, and/or the history of incarceration. The goal is to run the series between April-June 2023.
