"The Fugitive's Properties explores how nineteenth-century property law informed the history of race relations in the United States. Stephen Best shows how conceptions of slave property and personhood travel across time to unrelated aesthetic and cultural realms. This entirely new approach to the study of law and literature will dramatically reconfigure black cultural studies." - Susan Gillman, University of California, Santa Cruz"
