In this Coda to the symposium on my book In the Matter of Nat Turner: A Speculative History, I address the relationship in the book between law, history, and theory. Writing history informed by theory has always been important to me, for historical research is at least as much an engagement in interpretation as an exercise in description.

尾声：法律、历史和理论

在这篇关于我的书的座谈会的结尾关于纳特·特纳：投机历史，我在书中谈到了法律、历史和理论之间的关系。以理论为依据撰写历史对我来说一直很重要，因为历史研究至少与描述练习同样重要。
