Redemptive Constitutionalism in the Jury Room and Public Life
Redemptive Constitutionalism in the Jury Room and Public Life Mark Golub (bio) Sonali Chakravarti. Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2019. 168 pp. $2500 (pb). ISBN: 9780226654294. It is hard to think of a time, at least since the twentieth century, when public confidence in legal institutions has been lower or threats to the rule of law have been so conspicuously on display. We may vie…
Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional?
Discussions of race in American law and politics have been captured by the figure of the color-blind Constitution. Whether embraced as an ideal of constitutional equality or rejected for perpetuating historical injustice, advocates and critics alike view color-blindness as a refusal of racial consciousness rather than its mobilization. And yet, enacting a color-blind rule may be understood in itself to affect a heightened awareness of race. Accor…
The Limits of Brown
Chapter 4 examines the rise of color-blind constitutionalism in the context of school desegregation and the Supreme Court’s post– Brown v. Board implementation cases. As typically understood, color-blindness supplies the initial and authentic desegregation vision, against which affirmative action’s reintroduction of racial consciousness appears as a betrayal or corruption of core democratic values. In contrast, this chapter situates color-blindne…
Defending White Rights
Chapter 5 analyzes how color-blind constitutionalism developed into a powerful rights-based defense of white political interests in the Supreme Court’s affirmative action and post- Brown voluntary school desegregation cases. Understood as a form of conservative judicial activism, color-blindness requires a strong recognition of white victims as a racial group, and so necessarily enacts the very racial consciousness it claims to reject. Taken to i…
Remembering Massive Resistance to School Desegregation
The historian Charles Payne has described Brown v. Board of Education as “a milestone in search of something to signify.” Widely hailed as a symbol of Jim Crow's demise, the case is popularly understood to represent America at its best. For many, Brown symbolizes the end of segregation, a national condemnation of racism, a renewed commitment to the ideal of color-blind justice, or some combination of all of these, but Brown is equally affirmed in…
Plessy as “Passing: Judicial Responses to Ambiguously Raced Bodies in Plessy v. Ferguson
The Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) is infamous for its doctrine of “separate but equal,” which gave constitutional legitimacy to Jim Crow segregation laws. What is less-known about the case is that the appellant Homer Plessy was, by all appearances, a white man. In the language of the Court, his “one-eighth African blood” was “not discernible in him.” This article analyzes Plessy as a story of racial “passing.” The existenc…
