The ensuing trial spanned several months, with court procceedings lasting from February to September-a record length of time for the late-nineteenth century. The crime and its adjudication took center stage in presses from New York to Missouri. The nature of the case allowed otherwise taboo subjects such as illicit sex, adultery, and domestic violence in the black community to become fodder for mainstream public discourses on race, gender, and crime. By mapping the crime and its investigation as events unfolded, this book spotlights the chasm between African Americans and the legal system and shows how biased policing helped foment to urban crime. 000756862 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000756862 60010 $$aTabbs, Hannah Mary. 000756862 650_0 $$aMurder$$zPennsylvania$$zPhiladelphia$$vCase studies. 000756862 650_0 $$aFamily violence$$zPennsylvania$$zPhiladelphia$$vCase studies. 000756862 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$zPennsylvania$$zPhiladelphia$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000756862 650_0 $$aAfrican American women$$zPennsylvania$$zPhiladelphia$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000756862 650_0 $$aRacially mixed people$$zPennsylvania$$zPhiladelphia$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000756862 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000756862 655_7 $$aTrue crime stories.$$2lcgft 000756862 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGross, Kali N., 1972-$$tHannah Mary Tabbs and the disembodied torso.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, 2016$$z9780190241216$$w(DLC) 2015032082$$w(OCoLC) 907657561 000756862 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000756862 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190241216.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000756862 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756862$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756862 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756862 980__ $$aBIB 000756862 982__ $$aEbook 000756862 983__ $$aOnline
