LITERACY AND RACIAL JUSTICE: THE POLITICS OF LEARNING AFTER BROWN v. BOARD OF EDUCATION BY CATHERINE PRENDERGAST. 2003. CARBONDALE: SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY PRESS. 205 PAGES. 0-8093-2525-X (PAPERBACK) |
34 Journal of Law and Education 493 (July, 2005) |
Last year marked the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legally ended segregated public schooling in the United States. Unlike the fanfare surrounding the 200th anniversary of the Constitution in 1987, this anniversary slipped by almost unnoticed by the U.S. public; perhaps that is because there... |

LOVE, CHANGE |

Catharine MacKinnon once chose the title Not A Moral Issue, to separate obscenity claims from subordination claims in her response to pornography. MacKinnon's reminder: it's about power, is my starting point, in what for me IS a moral issue. This is morality: to include all as human and entitled to the deepest love and care. This is the... |

NAVIGATING DIVERSE IDENTITIES: BUILDING COALITIONS THROUGH REDISTRIBUTION OF ACADEMIC CAPITAL--AN EXERCISE IN PRAXIS |
35 Seton Hall Law Review 1201 (2005) |
I have experienced two philosophically epiphanic moments in my adult life. The first occurred during a solitary traversing of the mountains in the Guanxi province of China, and the second occurred at LatCrit IX. What I mean by epiphany is less a collection of thoughts than a singular feeling. Much like the Joycean artist, I felt at these moments an... |

OCCUPYING THE UNIVERSAL, EMBODYING THE SUBJECT |

Abstract. This article introduces a theory of jurisprudential critique that has developed in African American letters. The author describes this form of critique as sympathetic occupation--a means of using the idea of the universal subject alongside racial subjectivity in order to transform the reader's interpretation of the law with respect to... |

Race relations in the United States are rooted in the history of slavery, which is predominantly though not exclusively a history of white slave owners and black slaves.

When Gabriel García Márquez visited Puerto Rico, someone asked him why he had never written about the island. The Colombian Nobel Prize winning novelist smiled and paused for a second before responding. If I told the truth about Puerto Rico, he explained, everyone would say I was making it up. Indeed, the Puerto Rican experience is in many ways... |

PLESSY AS "PASSING": JUDICIAL RESPONSES TO AMBIGUOUSLY RACED BODIES IN PLESSY v. FERGUSON |
39 Law and Society Review 563 (September, 2005) |
The Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) is infamous for its doctrine of separate but equal, which gave constitutional legitimacy to Jim Crow segregation laws. What is less-known about the case is that the appellant Homer Plessy was, by all appearances, a white man. In the language of the Court, his one-eighth African blood was... |

POISONING THE WELL: LAW & ECONOMICS AND RACIAL INEQUALITY |

The standard Law and Economics analysis of racial discrimination has stunted African-American thinking about race. This consequence flows not from the cogency of its analysis, but rather from the conclusion reached by early Law and Economics advocates, when desegregation had just begun, that antidiscrimination laws were wasteful and unnecessary.... |

RACE AND CLASS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE |
11 Michigan Journal of Race and Law 99 (Fall 2005) |
As a discipline, political science tends to have a split personality on the issue of whether the driving force behind political action is material or ideational. Put too crudely, White scholars tend to focus on structural conditions as the cause of group identity and action, whereas scholars of color tend to focus on group identity and conflict in... |

Despite the peremptory challenge's venerable common law antecedents, lately there has been a movement in the criminal justice system to abolish this ancient workhorse.
