@drhonor I didn't have a chance to ask my question, inspired by @odonovanse1 comment.
-
@drhonor @odonovanse1 Was thinking about way history of "rumor" after emancipation has revealed "political worlds" of slaves
-
@drhonor @odonovanse1 But papers today discussed enslaved people's "knowledge" of or "literacy" about law
-
@drhonor @odonovanse1 "Knowledge" implies legal culture a fixed thing that could be definitively known.
-
@drhonor @odonovanse1 Could "rumor" about the way the law worked reveal different "legal cultures" or worlds of enslaved people?
-
@drhonor @odonovanse1 Is anything lost by considering the circulation of info about the law "knowledge" as opposed to "rumor"?
