Read the Introduction.
"This is narrative scholarship of the highest quality. "Justice
at War" addresses a far-ranging set of topical social issues of our
times, from affirmative action to hate speech to (in)justice toward
noncitizens during times of war. Accessible, well-written, and
deeply insightful, "Justice at War" represents the most creative
and thoughtful, if not brilliant, installment of the "Rodrigo
Chronicles" so far."
--Kevin Johnson, University of California at Davis
"Delgado raises important questions that most American studies
scholarship ignores because of its narrow focus. Delgado's use of
fiction and dialogue allows him to model a fairly broad,
interdisciplinary conversation about contemporary issues that all
too often is absent in much scholarly work."
--"American Studies"
"Delgado's analysis is fresh and thought provoking."
--"The Law and Politics Book Review"
"Worth reading. The author genuinely loves ideas and avidly
seeks racial justice. Infected by his enthusiasm, the reader may
well be tempted to learn more about the important issues Delgado
raises-an outcome that he would surely welcome."
--"New York Law Journal"
The status of civil rights in the United States today is as
volatile an issue as ever, with many Americans wondering if new
laws, implemented after the events of September 11, restrict more
people than they protect. How will efforts to eradicate racism,
sexism, and xenophobia be affected by the measures our government
takes in the name of protecting its citizens?
Richard Delgado, one of the founding figures in the Critical
Race Theory movement, addresses these problems with his latest
bookin the award-winning "Rodrigo Chronicles," Employing the
narrative device he and other Critical Race theorists made famous,
Delgado assembles a cast of characters to discuss such urgent and
timely topics as race, terrorism, hate speech, interracial
relationships, freedom of speech, and new theories on civil rights
stemming from the most recent war.
In the course of this new narrative, Delgado provides analytical
breakthroughs, offering new civil rights theories, new approaches
to interracial romance and solidarity, and a fresh analysis of how
whiteness and white privilege figure into the debate on affirmative
action. The characters also discuss the black/white binary paradigm
of race and show why it persists even at a time when the country's
population is rapidly diversifying.
