Leading legal lights weigh in on key issues of race and the
law-collected in honor of one of the originators of critical race
theory "Penetrating essays on race and social stratification within
policing and the law, in honor of pioneering scholar Derrick Bell."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) When Derrick Bell, one of the
originators of critical race theory, turned sixty-five, his wife
founded a lecture series with leading scholars, including critical
race theorists, many of them Bell's former students. Now these
lectures, given over the course of twenty-five years, are collected
for the first time in a volume Library Journal calls "potent" and
Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, says "powerfully
acknowledge[s] the persistence of structural racism." "To what
extent does equal protection protect?" asks Ian Haney Lopez in a
penetrating analysis of the gaps that remain in our civil rights
legal codes. Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund, describes the hypersegregation of our
cities and the limits of the law's ability to change deep-seated
attitudes about race. Patricia J. Williams explores the legacy of
slavery in the law's current constructions of sanity. Anita Allen
discusses competing privacy and accountability interests in the
lives of African American celebrities. Chuck Lawrence interrogates
the judicial backlash against affirmative action. And Michelle
Alexander describes what caused her to break ranks with the civil
rights community and take up the cause of those our legal system
has labeled unworthy. Race, Rights, and Redemption (which was
originally published in hardcover under the title Carving Out a
Humanity) gathers some of our country's brightest progressive legal
stars in a volume that illuminates facets of the law that have
continued to perpetuate racial inequality and to confound our
nation at the start of a new millennium. With contributions by:
