Race in the Shadow of Law offers a critical legal analysis of
European responses to institutional racism. It draws connections
between contemporary legal knowledge practices and colonial systems
of thought, arguing that many people of colour experience the law
as a part of a racial problem, rather than a solution, to racial
injustice. Based on a critical legal ethnography of anti-racism
work in Europe, and with an emphasis on the German context, the
book positions Black and anti-racist perspectives at the centre,
rather than the margins, of critically thinking through the
intersection of race and law. Combining this ethnography with
comparative legal analysis, discourse analysis and critical race
theory, the book develops a critical discussion of the European
legal frameworks aimed at regulating racism, and particularly
institutional racism, in policy and policing. In linking this
critique to the transformative potential of social movements,
however, it goes on to examine the strategic and creative
possibility of disrupting conventional modes of engaging, and
resisting, law.
