33 University of Hawaii Law Review 321 (Winter 2010) |
The sounds of the uw travel across the ocean on the brisk night wind. As family members assemble around the body, a grieving mother gently whispers the names of those entering the hale into the unhearing ears of the young man.

44 Law and Society Review 843 (September/December, 2010) |
This article examines how the conservative legal movement's successful count-ermobilization of the politics of rights enables U.S. Supreme Court outcomes that exacerbate racial and ethnic inequities while solidifying the privileged position of others in the name of equality.

Hawaiian Blood: Colonialism and the Politics of Sovereignty and Indigeneity. By J. Kēhaulani Kauanui. Durham, Nc: Duke University Press, 2008.264 Pp. $22.95 Paper |
44 Law and Society Review 879 (September/December, 2010) |
In 1921, the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) defined a native Hawaiian as a descendant with at least one-half blood quantum of individuals inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778 (p. 2).

IMPLICIT BIAS AND THE PUSHBACK FROM THE LEFT |

Over the past three decades, the mind sciences have provided remarkable insights about how our brains process social categories. For example, scientists have discovered that implicit biases--in the form of stereotypes and attitudes that we are unaware of, do not consciously intend, and might reject upon conscious self-reflection--exist and have... |

READING BETWEEN THE (BLOOD) LINES |
83 Southern California Law Review 473 (March, 2010) |
Legal scholars and historians have recognized the rule of hypodescent--that one drop of African blood categorized one as Black --as one of the powerful tools that law and society deployed to construct racial identities and deny equal citizenship. Indeed, at least one prominent scholar has suggested that the concept of hypodescent operated as the... |
