Description

Race and Races: Cases and Resources for a Diverse America 4th Edition Juan F. Perea ISBN 9781647083595

This casebook and reference guide offers a comprehensive and current interdisciplinary exploration of race, racism, and the law, examining how legal systems and historical developments have shaped—and continue to shape—the meaning of race in the United States. Integrating critical perspectives from law, history, and social theory, the book provides students and scholars with essential tools for understanding the complex legal and social dynamics of racial inequality.

The updated fourth edition includes substantial new material reflecting recent developments in law, politics, and public discourse, including:

• Police violence against African Americans, and the legal frameworks that contribute to the rarity of police accountability
• The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and mass protests in response to systemic police violence
• A surge in violence against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic and the legal and political responses to it
• Immigration policy under the Trump administration, including family separation practices, anti-immigrant rhetoric, and efforts to construct a border wall
• Ongoing attacks on voting rights, with analysis of key decisions such as Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee
• A thoroughly revised chapter on Native American law and history, incorporating settler colonial theory and discussing landmark decisions like McGirt v. Oklahoma
• A critical look at the backlash against Critical Race Theory, and efforts to restrict its teaching and influence in law and education

This edition continues to be a vital resource for law students, legal scholars, and anyone seeking to understand how race and racism intersect with U.S. law, politics, and institutions.
