Description

The New Frontiers of Civil Rights Litigation Second Edition Michèle Alexandre

ISBN: 9781531028725

This book introduces students to the long history of civil rights advocacy and litigation, highlighting both the progress achieved over generations and the challenges that continue today. It provides a broad survey of foundational, contemporary, and emerging issues in American civil rights litigation. Taking an expansive view of civil rights, the text addresses traditional legal protections against discrimination based on race, gender, and other characteristics, while also examining newer areas such as food justice.

Because the development of American civil rights law is deeply connected to the country's history of racial discrimination, the book begins with landmark cases and historical developments that shaped the legal and social treatment of Black Americans and other communities of color. It also encourages students to consider fundamental questions about the nature and purpose of law, including what the law is, how it operates, and what it should become. The material is organized into three parts:

The first part explores the historical foundations of modern civil rights jurisprudence. It examines the legal and social developments leading to Brown v. Board of Education, the nationwide struggle for school desegregation, and significant pre- and post-Reconstruction cases and statutes that continue to influence civil rights law.

The second part focuses on the statutes, judicial decisions, and doctrines that define the modern civil rights framework. Beginning with the Civil Rights Act, it provides detailed coverage of Title VII, Title IX, and Title VI. Additional topics include landmark voting rights decisions, disability law, the rights of language minorities, Section 1983 litigation, and gender discrimination.

The third part addresses ongoing and emerging civil rights challenges in the twenty-first century. Topics include food rights, access to shared spaces, sustainability, climate migration, gender identity, sexual orientation, and litigation and alternative approaches to achieving educational equality beyond affirmative action.

Rental Terms

Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
30-Day Refund Window: Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
