A DIVERSITY THEORY OF CHARITABLE TAX EXEMPTION--BEYOND EFFICIENCY, THROUGH CRITICAL RACE THEORY, TOWARD DIVERSITY |
4 Pittsburgh Tax Review 1 (Fall, 2006) |
What is the normative rationale for the federal income tax exemption for nonprofit charitable corporations? Even though the exemption dates back to 1894, Congress has failed to fully rationalize it. Though scholars and courts have attempted over the years to come up with a coherent rationale for the charitable tax exemption, their attempts are... |

A MATTER OF RHETORIC: THE DIVERSITY RATIONALE IN POLITICAL CONTEXT |
10 Chapman Law Review 187 (Fall 2006) |
The scholarly discourse regarding affirmative action in higher education has gone awry, becoming shrill and calcified. The discussion has come to focus excessively on the formal and the philosophical aspects of the program (What doctrine properly justifies it? Is the program moral? Does it go far enough? ), while neglecting to consider, in a... |

Some years ago, our mutual friend, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, suggested Len Riskin and I talk about our shared interest in mindfulness meditation and negotiation. At the time, I had students sit quietly, eyes closed, get in touch with what was going on before a negotiation, write it out, and then crumple up the paper. It was a primitive form of... |

AGAINST BIPOLAR BLACK MASCULINITY: INTERSECTIONALITY, ASSIMILATION, IDENTITY PERFORMANCE, AND HIERARCHY |
39 U.C. Davis Law Review 853 (March, 2006) |
I contend that popular representations of heterosexual black men are bipolar. Those images alternate between a Bad Black Man who is crime-prone and hypersexual and a Good Black Man who distances himself from blackness and associates with white norms. The threat of the Bad Black Man label provides heterosexual black men with an assimilationist... |

A panoply of intellectual projects have exposed the ways in which law is haunted, bearing the imprints of the moment in which it is produced, and constituted as much by what it includes as what it excludes. The work of these critiques has been to expose the ghostly aspects of law and to uncover the interplay between history, inequality, and the... |
