Uncontrollable Blackness: African American men and criminality in Jim Crow New York

No sunshine in the city : crime, control, and the crucible of public space

Sex, blood, guns, and gambling : pleasure, profit, and peril in New York City's black saloons

White women forced to live in negro dives : Roosevelt Sharp's abduction trial and the contested terrain of white women's bodies

To let her know she did me wrong : illegality, domestic authority, and the politics of black intimacy

Been here long enough : prison, parole, and the pursuit of a better life in black imagination.
