EBOOK Race, Law, and Culture Reflections on Brown v. Board of Education
Opis
More than forty years after Brown v. Board of Education put an end to segregation of the races by law, current debates about affirmative action, multiculturalism, and racial hate speech reveal persistent uncertainty about the meaning of race in American culture and the role of law in guaranteeing racial equality. This book takes the continuing controversy about race as an invitation to revisit Brown. The essays collected here are diverse in their perspectives and lively in their presentation. Taken togther, they provide a fresh look at Brown as well as the way it is implicated in America's contemporary uncertainties about race.
