MICHAL R. BELKNAP teaches criminal law, constitutional law, and American legal history at California Western School of Law and is an adjunct professor of American history at the University of California, San Diego. Federal Law and Southern Order was named an Outstanding Book by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Intolerance and Human Rights.
Belknap has given us an extremely useful narrative of the federal
government's all-too-gradual efforts to control racial violence in
the civil rights period. . . . [He] combines solid documentation
with perceptive analysis and powerful narration. The result of his
labor is convincing, compelling, and highly recommended.--Annals of
the American Academy of Political and Social Science
Belknap's detailed analysis of racial violence and constitutional
conflict in the post-Brown South tells an unpleasant, frustrating,
and at times infuriating story with only a highly qualified happy
ending. . . . The work fills an important gap in civil-rights
literature and fills it intelligently, seasoned with an appropriate
dash of impatience and moral indignation.--American Historical
