{"product_id":"9780822384458","title":"TEST1 Games of Property: Law, Race, Gender, and Faulkner's Go Down, Moses","description":"In \u003ci\u003eGames of Property,\u003c\/i\u003e distinguished critic Thadious M. Davis provides a dazzling new interpretation of William Faulkner’s \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses. \u003c\/i\u003eDavis argues that in its unrelenting attention to issues related to the ownership of land and people, \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/i\u003e ranks among Faulkner’s finest and most accomplished works. Bringing together law, social history, game theory, and feminist critiques, she shows that the book is unified by games—fox hunting, gambling with cards and dice, racing—and, like the law, games are rule-dependent forms of social control and commentary. She illuminates the dual focus in \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/i\u003e on property and ownership on the one hand and on masculine sport and social ritual on the other. \u003ci\u003eGames of Property\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful contribution to understandings of Faulkner’s fiction and the power and scope of property law.","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080887484656,"sku":"9780822384458","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822384458_p0.jpg?v=1763751102","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822384458","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
