The now-famous cases of DeFunis v. Odegaard (1971-1974) and Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1974-1978)-which opened the door to reverse discrimination-have been the subject of extensive analysis. Most of the voluminous literature has focused on the Court's far from definitive answers to important constitutional questions and only briefly summarized the facts disclosed at trial. But these factual records deserve more critical scrutiny than they have so far received. In The Making of Reverse Discrimination, Ellen Messer-Davidow restores to these two cases the facts that were omitted from or distorted during the trials, showing how the attorneys used the deficient factual record to construct reverse-discrimination complaints. In addition to examining the wider social and historical context, she provides a close analysis of the briefs, opinions, arguments, and dissents to uncover the flawed logic at the heart of these cases. Her study is an eye-opening look at the way the law and language were manipulated to devise racialized narratives that undermined the interests of minorities. The result is more than just a deconstruction of these two cases and a genealogy of reverse discrimination-though it is certainly that. Messer-Davidow uncovers the way contemporary legal discourse itself makes possible, indeed inevitable, the disappearance of systemic racism under the cover of purportedly neutral principles of law. She further shows how this legal occlusion of racism has been disseminated through conservative networks and organizations, creating the culture-war environment that currently hobbles societal efforts to address structural injustice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a DeFunis, Marco $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Odegaard, Charles E., $d 1911-1999 $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Bakke, Allan Paul $x Trials, litigation, etc. 610 20 $a University of California (System). $b Regents $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 17 $a Bakke, Allan Paul. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00020823 600 17 $a DeFunis, Marco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00012690 600 17 $a Odegaard, Charles E., $d 1911-1999. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00052497 610 27 $a University of California (System). $b Regents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00603185 650 0 $a Affirmative action programs in education $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Discrimination in higher education $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $x History. $x Law and legislation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Minorities $x Education (Higher) $z United States. 650 7 $a Affirmative action programs in education $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765592 650 7 $a Discrimination in higher education $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895079 650 7 $a Minorities $x Education (Higher) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023138 650 7 $a Race discrimination $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086474 650 7 $a Trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156290 650 7 $a Universities and colleges $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161630 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021509.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BF2B4FC177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
