From Black Codes to Recodification: Removing the Veil from Regulatory Writing

by Miriam F Williams and Charles H. Sides

This book examines Texas regulations from the Texas Black Codes of 1866, some of the most deceptive regulations in Texas history, to contemporary Texas Child Care Licensing regulations, which perhaps symbolize some of the most audience-friendly contemporary regulations in Texas. The author focuses on the contemporary African-American audience, often categorized as distrustful of government. The book can help public policy students understand the complexities of intercultural communication and negotiation in public policy development and implementation.
