Produktbeschreibung
Through the lens of Tourgee's life, Elliott illuminates the war of ideas about race that raged through the United States in the nineteenth century, from the heated debate over slavery before the Civil War, through the conflict over aid to freedmen during Reconstruction, to the backlash toward the end of the century, when Tourgee saw his country retreat from the goals of equality and freedom and utterly repudiate the work of Reconstruction. A poignant and inspiring study in courage and conviction, "Color Blind Justice" offers us an unforgettable portrayal of Albion Tourgee and the principles to which he dedicated his life.
Civil War officer, Reconstruction "carpetbagger," bestselling novelist, and relentless champion of equal rights, Albion Tourgie battled his entire life for racial justice. Now, in this engaging biography, Elliott offers an insightful portrait of a fearless lawyer, jurist, and writer, who fought for equality long after most Americans had abandoned the ideals of Reconstruction.
