”An original, wise and courageous work that moves beyond
sterile arguments and lifts the discussion of race and justice to a
new and more hopeful level.”–Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
In this groundbreaking, powerfully reasoned, lucid work that is
certain to provoke controversy, Harvard law professor Randall
Kennedy takes on a highly complex issue in a way that no one has
before. Kennedy uncovers the long-standing failure of the justice
system to protect blacks from criminals, probing allegations that
blacks are victimized on a widespread basis by racially
discriminatory prosecutions and punishments, but he also engages
the debate over the wisdom and legality of using racial criteria in
jury selection. He analyzes the responses of the legal system to
accusations that appeals to racial prejudice have rendered trials
unfair, and examines the idea that, under certain circumstances,
members of one race are statistically more likely to be involved in
crime than members of another.
