School and Society: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Description

Extensive treatment of antidiscrimination law’s role in contracting
Several changes to help teachers who want to address race in the context of contract law including:
A case in the introductory Chapter One that addresses Georgia＊s post-Civil War Labor Contract Act, which was used to subjugate freed slaves
New historical materials attached to Williams v. Walker-Thomas, the landmark unconscionability case, emphasizing the role of race in the market Mrs. Williams found herself in
A new section in Chapter Five that covers discrimination law as it applies to contract. Here the emphasis is on race, but gender discrimination is also discussed.
