Not only did it shift the ideological balance on the Court; it was inextricably entangled with the persistent American dilemma of race. In The Transition, this most significant transition from 1953 to the present is explored through the lives and writings of the first two African American justices on Court, touching on the lasting consequences for understandings of American citizenship as well as the central currents of Black political thought over the past century. In their lives, Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas experienced the challenge of living and learning in a world that had enslaved their relatives and that continued to subjugate members of their racial group. On the Court, their judicial writings--often in concurrences or dissents--richly illustrate the ways in which these two individuals embodied these crucial American (and African American) debates--on the balance between state and federal authority, on the government's responsibility to protect its citizens against discrimination, and on the best strategies for pursuing equality. The gap between Justices Marshall and Thomas on these questions cannot be overstated, and it reveals an extraordinary range of thought that has yet to be fully appreciated. The 1991 transition from Justice Marshall to Justice Thomas has had consequences that are still unfolding at the Court and in society. Arguing that the importance of this transition has been obscured by the relegation of these Justices to the sidelines of Supreme Court history, Daniel Kiel shows that it is their unique perspective as Black justices--the lives they have lived as African Americans and the rooting of their judicial philosophies in the relationship of government to African Americans--that makes this succession echo across generations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Marshall, Thurgood, $d 1908-1993. 600 10 $a Thomas, Clarence, $d 1948- 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 600 17 $a Marshall, Thurgood, $d 1908-1993. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00013977 600 17 $a Thomas, Clarence, $d 1948- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00100353 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 0 $a African American judges $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a Discrimination in education $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 7 $a African American judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799211 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a Discrimination in education $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895042 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Race discrimination $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086474 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kiel, Daniel (Law professor). $t Transition $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2023 $z 9781503635661 $w (DLC) 2022030622 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68D454629E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
