BLACK AND WHITE |
85 California Law Review 1647 (October, 1997) |
Critical Race Theory dreams in black and white. No rhapsody of color, only charred history and pale hope. Yet the dreams stamp hard, inspiring a jurisprudential movement of diverse scholars and earning an uneasy place in the postwar scholarship of the American legal academy. Having waged both theoretical and practical battles to gain that place,... |

CRITICAL RACE FEMINISM: BLACK WOMEN AND GANGS |

A girl was tortured, tied to a manhole cover, and thrown off a bridge to her death. Another girl was attacked on her way home from the grocery store and one of her fingers was chopped off. A young man was beaten so severely he ended up in a coma. Two men were lured to a park and both were shot in the head. All of these brutal crimes have one thing... |

95 Michigan Law Review 821 (February, 1997) |
At the end of the twentieth century, the legal status of Chinese Americans in San Francisco's public schools turns on a requested judicial finding that a desegregation order originally designed to dismantle a system subordinating nonwhites now invidiously discriminates against Chinese Americans.

CRITICAL THEORY AND THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT'S CHAPTER ELEVEN |
28 University of Miami Inter-American Law Review 303 (1997) |
The application of critical race insights to issues involving U.S. foreign relations is likely to benefit both international lawyers and traditional race critics, albeit for different reasons.

DECONSTRUCTING THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN BIAS AND MERIT |
85 California Law Review 1449 (October, 1997) |
In this article Professor Roithmayr attempts to develop in the context of law school admissions a theoretical argument from deconstruction to support the radical critique of merit. The radical critique, espoused primarily by Critical Race Theorists and radical feminists, argues that merit standards disproportionately exclude white women and people... |

ESSAYS IN REFUSAL: PRE-THEORETICAL COMMITMENTS IN POSTMODERN ANTHROPOLOGY AND CRITICAL RACE THEORY |
107 Yale Law Journal 499 (November, 1997) |
The necessity of reform mustn't be allowed to become a form of blackmail serving to limit, reduce or halt the exercise of criticism. Under no circumstances should one pay attention to those who tell one: Don't criticize, since you're not capable of carrying out a reform. That's ministerial cabinet talk. Critique doesn't have to be the premise of... |

IMMIGRATION LAW AND THE PROMISE OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY: OPENING THE ACADEMY TO THE VOICES OF ALIENS AND IMMIGRANTS |
97 Columbia Law Review 1202 (May, 1997) |
As a movement, critical race theory endeavors to account for the voices of people of color by exploring the systemic and pervasive nature of racism in society, and by scrutinizing the ways in which current rights jurisprudence fails to attend fully to the ubiquity of racialized attitudes both in society at large and within the legal system itself.... |

TRINA GRILLO was a spiritual person. While she was a brilliant rational thinker with a keen legal mind, she also understood that more informs our human wholeness than simply our brains.

LAW AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES |

There are a large number of law-ands around: law and philosophy, law and history, law and sociology, law and society, law and critical race theory. A partial explanation for the development of these law-ands is that contemplating the law by itself is pretty boring. Just as the International House of Pancakes would probably not long survive in... |

In coining the term, looking to the bottom, Mari Matsuda asserted that [t]he technique of imagining oneself black and poor in some hypothetical world is less effective than studying the actual experience of black poverty and listening to those who have done so.

SOME CRITICAL THOUGHTS ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY |
72 Notre Dame Law Review 503 (1997) |
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is perhaps the fastest growing and most controversial movement in recent legal scholarship, stirring up debate in much the same manner Critical Legal Studies (CLS) did fifteen or twenty years ago. Although CRT was inspired in part by the failure of CLS to focus sufficiently on racial issues, it remains indebted in style... |

The following is a mythical conversation: [Fourth White Colleague]: I don't think that there can be a black legal income tax law or a black economics separate from white economics.

This article raises the question of whether the Internal Revenue Code systematically favors whites over blacks.
