Despite the growing number ofAsian American and Latino/a law
students, many panethnic students still feel as if they do not
belong in this elite microcosm, which reflects the racial
inequalities in mainstream American society. While in law school,
these students-often from immigrant families, and often the first
to go to college-have to fight against racialized and gendered
stereotypes. In Incidental Racialization, Diana Pan rigorously
explores how systemic inequalities are produced and sustained in
law schools. Through interviews with more than 100 law students and
participant observations at two law schools, Pan examines how
racialization happens alongside professional socialization. She
investigates how panethnic students negotiate their identities,
race, and gender in an institutional context. She also considers
how their lived experiences factor into their student organization
association choices and career paths. Incidental Racialization
sheds light on how race operates in a law school setting for both
students of color and in the minds of white students. It also
provides broader insights regarding racial inequalities in society
in general.
