Dubbed a pioneer of critical race theory, Delgado offers a book of
compelling conversations about race in America Richard Delgado is
one of the most evocative and forceful voices writing on the
subject of race and law in America today. The New York Times has
described him as a pioneer of critical race theory, the bold and
provocative movement that, according to the Times "will be
influencing the practice of law for years to come." In The Rodrigo
Chronicles, Delgado, adopting his trademark storytelling approach,
casts aside the dense, dry language so commonly associated with
legal writing and offers up a series of incisive and compelling
conversations about race in America. Rodrigo, a brash and brilliant
African-American law graduate has been living in Italy and has just
arrived in the office of a professor when we meet him. Through the
course of the book, the professor and he discuss the American
racial scene, touching on such issues as the role of minorities in
an age of global markets and competition, the black left, the rise
of the black right, black crime, feminism, law reform, and the
economics of racial discrimination. Expanding on one of the central
themes of the critical race movement, namely that the law has an
overwhelmingly white voice, Delgado here presents a radical and
stunning thesis: it is not black, but white, crime that poses the
most significant problem in modern American life.
