Critical Race Realism by Gregory Parks
Questions of differential treatment under the law for people of different races continue to play out in daily life as well as on the front page news. This book examines the psychology behind racial bias in the criminal justice system and offers practical solutions. Edited by brilliant young African-American legal scholars and social scientists, this anthology includes both seminal pieces on the topic as well as brand-new writing that deepens this exciting field of work. Richard Delgado, widely considered the leading figure in Critical Race Theory, provides the foreword.
