The Racial Glass Ceiling by Roy L Brooks
A compelling study of a subtle and insidious form of racial inequality in American law and culture.
"Roy Brooks offers a thought-provoking augmentation of our vocabulary for discussing the constitutional and statutory law of race discriminationHis idea that overcoming racial and cultural subordination is different from race-neutral decision making, integration, and other responses to our current situation deserves careful attention."—Mark Tushnet, author of In the Balance: Law and Politics on the Roberts Court -- Mark Tushnet
"Roy Brooks has long been one of our most thoughtful, astute commentators on contemporary racial issues. His new book—which focuses insightfully on racial subordination as distinct from racism—will commence a productive conversation among those who want to think more carefully, and more deeply, about racial inequality in the United States today." —Michael J. Perry, author of Human Rights in the Constitutional Law of the United States -- Michael Perry
“The issues of racial subordination which Brooks raises are routinely faced by African American lawyers, and have perplexed even the most well-meaning law firms for many years. Brooks presents a unique analysis of racial disadvantages faced by blacks, regardless of class, and offers an interesting way to address these complex legal and cultural issues going forward. I highly recommend his book.”—H. Russell Frisby, Jr., Partner, Stinson Leonard Street LLP -- H. Russell Frisby, Jr.
