- More about Personal Identity in the Modern World: A Society of Strangers
Crimes of mobility such as bigamy, confidence game, and blackmail emerged due to social and geographical mobility in the 19th century, facilitated by fraudulent role-playing. This book explores the social and legal consequences of this mobility.
Format: Hardback
Length: 198 pages

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
In a society of strangers, a unique set of crimes emerges, characterized by their mobility and rarity in traditional societies. These crimes include bigamy, the confidence game, and blackmail, among others. What unites them is a deceptive form of role-playing facilitated by the new social dynamics. This book delves into the profound social and legal ramifications of social and geographical mobility in the United States and Great Britain from the early 19th century onwards. Personal identity undergoes a fluid transformation, blurring the lines between classes and creating an environment teeming with impostors. The impact of this mobility on society is far-reaching, shaping the very fabric of both countries and leaving a lasting legacy.
