WHERE HAVE ALL THE LOVINGS GONE?: THE CONTINUING RELEVANCE OF THE MOVEMENT FOR A MULTIRACIAL CATEGORY AND RACIAL CLASSIFICATION AFTER PARENTS INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS V. SEATTLE SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 |
11 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 409 (Spring 2008) |
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix. This nation has a moral and ethical obligation to fulfill... |

Law and culture are two concepts that are increasingly placed in relation to each other.

What about this isn't a community? Community lawyering is all about faith, faith in others and faith outside the law. For progressive lawyers working in the fields of civil rights and poverty law, faith is expressed in the professional norms of legal-political activism. Ours is the positivist faith of the lawyer-engineer laboring inside the... |

Writing about race is an uncertain enterprise. Surely, we tell ourselves, if we can simply find a better way of thinking and talking about race, we might hasten the day of redemption. Yet, after centuries of talk, and imaginative reconstructions of thought, race remains a jagged scar across our social and political landscape. Much has changed, but... |
