Separate: The Story of Plessy v. Ferguson, and America’s Journey from Slavery to Segregation

Steve Luxenberg uses Separate to investigate the Story of Plessy v. Ferguson, and America’s Journey from Slavery to Segregation through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and law. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
