Post-Racial Constitutionalism and the Roberts Court: Rhetorical
Neutrality and the Perpetuation of Inequality provides the first
comprehensive Critical Race Theory critique of the United States
Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts. Since being named
to the Court in 2005, Chief Justice Roberts has maintained a
position of neutrality in his opinions on race. By dissecting
neutrality and how it functions as a unifying feature in all the
Court's race jurisprudence, this book illustrates the consequences
of this ostensible impartiality. By examining the Court's racial
jurisprudence dating back to the Reconstruction, the book shows how
the Court has actively rationalized systemic oppression through
neutral rhetoric and the elevation of process-based decisional
values, which are rooted in democratic myths of inclusivity and
openness. Timely and trenchant, the book illustrates the permanence
of racism and how neutrality must be rejected to achieve true
empowerment and substantive equality.
