Master-Servant Doctrine - How Old Legal Rules Haunt the Modern Workplace

"In this important and compelling account, Elizabeth Chika Tippett demonstrates that the basic fundamentals--and, indeed, the crucial details--of relationships between employees and employers rest on concepts embedded in the master-servant system of slavery. There is so much here, so carefully and clearly presented, that clarifies persistent injustice."--Nell Irvin Painter, New York Times-bestselling author of The History of White People

"This extraordinarily incisive book from a leading work-law scholar illuminates the ongoing relevance of the complicated history of master-servant doctrine and slavery. A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary employment relations and labor markets as well as the fascinating and fraught past that continues to shape our work lives."--Orly Lobel, author of The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future
