"A growing number of scholars have helped us understand the
law's impact on both the major events and the minutia of our daily
lives. It's safe to say, however, that few do so with the
provocative verve and vigor of Derrick Bell. This volume is a must
read for long-time followers of Derrick Bell's work as well as
casual readers looking for material that is both intellectually
stimulating and entertaining."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., co-author
of "The Future of the Race"
"Finally, the essence of Derrick Bell as a scholar, teacher, and
activist is captured in the Derrick Bell Reader. Bell's remarkable
career, as a civil rights attorney, scholar on race and justice,
and activist promoting the rights of all citizens, is fully
addressed. It is a great read."--Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., author
of "All Deliberate Speed"
"Derrick Bell's impressive body of scholarship continues to
inspire generations of readers by inviting them into an extended
conversation between him and a community of people who gave life to
his vision and generously shared their own wisdom in search of
justice."--Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres, co-authors of "The
Miner's Canary"
"Biting, intense, full of dramatic surprises and brilliant
insights, Bell's work is the antidote to all the feel-good
narratives of racial change."--Duncan Kennedy, author of "Legal
Education and the Reproduction of Hierarchy"
"For those who agree, or disagree, with Bell's radical departure
from accepted racial notions, "The Derrick Bell Reader" offers
plenty to dissect. The book could not have arrived at a better
time."--Brian Gilmore, Howard University School of Law
Lawyer, activist, teacher, writer: for over 40 years, Derrick
Bell has provoked his critics and challenged his readers with
uncompromising candor and progressive views on race and class in
America. A founder of Critical Race Theory and pioneer of the use
of allegorical stories as tools of analysis, Bell's groundbreaking
work shatters conventional legal orthodoxies and turns comfortable
majoritarian myths inside out.
Edited and with an extensive introduction by leading critical
race theorists Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, The Derrick Bell
Reader reflects the tremendous breadth of issues that Bell has
grappled with over his phenomenal career, including affirmative
action, black nationalism, legal education and ethics. Together,
the selections offer the most complete collection of Derrick Bell's
writing available today.
