The Supreme Court, Race, and Civil Rights: From Marshall to RehnquistSAGE, 25/07/1995 - 483 páginas Discover the first law textbook to provide a comprehensive examination of the Supreme Court's institutional commitment to equality over a time span of more than 190 years. Filling the void of literature in this area, this long-awaited volume incorporates information from the disciplines of law, political science, and history to provide the student with a thorough analysis of race and law from the perspective of politically disadvantaged groups.
