""Watching Jim Crow" is a highly original, sophisticated, and important piece of scholarship that will undoubtedly influence a variety of fields ranging from legal theory to cultural studies. One of the most striking things about this work is the compelling way it crosses barriers that have blinkered both scholarly and commonsense thinking about law, media, and culture."--Thomas Streeter, author of "Selling the Air: A Critique of the Policy of Commercial Broadcasting in the United States"
