Bag om Slavery and the Death Penalty

It has long been acknowledged that the death penalty in the United States of America has been shaped by the countryΓÇÖs history of slavery and racial violence, but this book considers the lesser-explored relationship between the two practicesΓÇÖ respective abolitionist movements.
