Critical race judgments : rewritten U.S. court opinions on race and the law / edited by Bennett Capers (Fordham Law School), Devon Carbado (UCLA School of Law), Robin A. Lenhardt (Georgetown Law School), Angela Onwuachi-Willig (Boston University School of Law).
"Is it possible to be both a judge and a feminist?" So opens Feminist Judgments, a collection of key decisions in English law rewritten by feminist legal scholars. It is a provocative question, and one that prompted us, a group of critical race theorists, to open this book, Critical Race Judgments, with a similar question: "Is it possible to be both a judge and a critical race theorist?" On one view, the answer is a resounding "no." To put the point the way two critics of the genre once put it, critical race theory is "beyond all reason." Accordingly, that body of work can be neither translated into nor substantively shape the articulation and the development of legal doctrine in the United States. On another view, and the one that informs this project, the answer is unequivocally "yes." The very project of critical race theory is to highlight, contest, reimagine, and rearticulate "the vexed bond between law and racial power.-- ECIP introduction.
