BREATHING DIFFERENCE, SHARING EMPOWERMENT |
32 Chicana/o-Latina/o Law Review 67 (2014) |
We celebrate Margaret E. Montoya's Máscaras, Trenzas, y Greñas as a canonical article in critical race theory because its deft interweaving and unbraiding of stories helps us consider the marginalizing assumptions of the legal world, the way normativity translates into authority, and the means by which the mainstream is disguised as unbiased. She... |

COERCIVE ASSIMILATIONISM: THE PERILS OF MUSLIM WOMEN'S IDENTITY PERFORMANCE IN THE WORKPLACE |
20 Michigan Journal of Race and Law 1 (Fall, 2014) |
Should employees have the legal right to be themselves at work? Most Americans would answer in the negative because work is a privilege, not an entitlement. But what if being oneself entails behaviors, mannerisms, and values integrally linked to the employee's gender, race, or religion? And what if the basis for the employer's workplace rules and... |

DISCERNING CRITICAL MOMENTS: LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF DERRICK BELL TITLE |
75 University of Pittsburgh Law Review 457 (Summer, 2014) |
Critical race theory seeks to explain the shifting tides of racial fortune.

But it also teaches... |

In the 1980s, Professor Derrick Bell posited a theory of interest convergence as part of his critical race theory work, arguing that the major strides forward in civil rights law and policy that benefited African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s only occurred because of the perceived benefits of those changes to white elites during that time.
