The Sixth Edition of this innovative text written by Derrick Bell continues to provide students with insight into the issues surrounding race in America and an understanding of how the law interprets those issues as well as the factors that directly and indirectly influence the law. The first casebook published specifically for teaching race related law courses, Race, Racism, and American Law is engaging, offering hard-hitting enlightenment, and is an unparalleled teaching tool.

Among the features that have made this text a success with both students and instructors through five editions over 35 years:

  • Clear and readable text along with a participatory approach that encourages discussion of unresolved and perhaps unresolvable racial issues.
  • Interdisciplinary excerpts from historical, sociological, and psychological publications that provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the subject and in this edition pose the question of the lawand#8217;s limitations in remedying current racial barriers.
  • Creative hypothetical exercises for possible briefing and argument to the class by student advocates. The presentations promote a learning by teaching experience that enables students to realize the complex nature and consequences of racism in the United States
  • Commentary on the Supreme Court's conception of a andquot;color-blindandquot; society and its adverse effects on school desegregation, voting, employment, and affirmative action
  • Alternatives to integration in achieving the goal of equal educational opportunity.
  • The absence or inadequacy of remedies for racial barriers facing Latino, Asian and Native American citizens.
  • Discussion of Professor Lani Guinier's advocacy of proportional representation over majority-minority districts.
  • The uses of nooses as racial intimidation symbols replacing flaming crosses.
  • Racial priorities in Hurricane Katrinaand#8217;s rescue and recovery policies.
  • The legal ramifications of the disproportionately high percentage of blacks and Hispanics in American prisons
  • Legal and social barriers to blacks and Latinos seeking to challenge employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
  • The growing acceptance and continued hostility to interracial sex and marriage.
  • The vulnerability of black and Latino buyers to consumer schemes and sub-prime mortgages.
  • The limited value of racial protests during a time of war and national crisis.

Fully updated, the Sixth Edition includes:

  • Increased citation to and discussion of law review articles that offer new and perhaps controversial perspectives, which Professor Bell utilizes to provide divergent views and thus better provoke class discussion and independent student thought
  • Summaries of new Supreme Court cases
  • A new hypothetical problem that deals with using non-racial criteria to create school diversity
  • New sections on the adverse impact of immigration on black employment and the impact of unemployment on prison rates

Race, Racism, and American Law, Sixth Edition, compiled and published initially in 1973 by Derrick Bell, in this latest addition continues its position as an essential tool to any course addressing the reasons why race remains a key to Americaand#8217;s economic, political and social functioning.

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2020
This textbook is phenomenal content wise - fascinating and informative. I saw that the kindle version was only $2.99 so I bought it hoping to own another version I could carry around with me but it wasn't worth it at all. The formatting is clearly from a pdf reader with no human editor. This edition is in no way readable. Some obvious examples: Modern = modem. Discrimination = discrill!.on. And then the more confusing JA.(t.~s. Your guess is as good as mine for what that word should be. Sprinkled throughout are pictures of the PDF size tiny that you cannot make larger (and they are for pages you have already read). I opened it on both a kindle and an ipad in the kindle app. - the ipad allows you to increase the size of the pdf screen shots so if you don't mind bouncing around for them, you could read that way.

I reported this to Amazon - asking for an updated version, and was offered a refund no questions asked. I did the formal feedback so hopefully this won't be true by the time you buy it - but if you can check before you purchase it, it will save you headaches formed by cryptology.

Yes, I loved this textbook (as much as you can love a textbook). It really opened up my horizons in our justice system and how there is still racism in America due to some people's skewed vision of people.
As usual, I have come across another book that doesn't put the blame on the former generation for keeping racism alive. It comes down to parents who need to parent well and teach their children (the future generation of leaders) how to treat other people and judge them based on their actions and character and NOT the color of their skin.

Someone stole this book from me. But that person may have done me a favor. The edition I purchased is an updated version.

This book is for intelligent people. It is a TEXTBOOK. With that said, some of the reviews from less than intelligent people need to be ignored. Their reviews are racist rants that do nothing to dispute the FACTS in this book. If you're looking for a scholarly resource on civil rights cases and the way the law has been applied in this country by whites (many of which have been upfront with their racism) please pick up this book.

Although the sixth edition is from over 13 years ago, it holds up. I truly enjoyed the cases and the analysis.
