Law, Race and the Constitution in the Obama-Context

About the Book

Law, Race, and the Constitution in the Obama-Context investigates the United States and the changes or lack of changes that have taken place in interpreting the law as it relates to a newly minted attempt at post-racialism. The text looks at seminal court cases, federal legislation, and the Constitution and attempts to grapple with issues of immigration, affirmative action, Title VII, and other sensitive issues that concern a country seeing changes in its demographics, in its class dynamics, and in its race relations. Is race still an issue? This text explores that question.
