Carving Out a Humanity
Author: Vincent Southerland
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620976218
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Leading law professors weigh in on key issues in race and the law—collected in honor of one of the originators of critical race theory, Derrick Bell When Derrick Bell, one of the originators of critical race theory, turned sixty-five, his wife set up a lecture series of the leading critical race theorists, many of them Bell’s former students. Now, these lectures, given over the course of twenty-five years, are collected for the first time in Carving Out a Humanity, a volume that Library Journal calls “potent” and Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, says “powerfully acknowledge[s] the persistence of structural racism.” “To what extent does equal protection protect?” asks Ian Haney López in a penetrating analysis of the gaps that remain in our civil rights legal codes. Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, describes the hypersegregation of our cities and the limits of the law’s ability to change deep-seated attitudes about race. Patricia J. Williams explores the legacy of slavery in the law’s current constructions of sanity. Anita Allen discusses competing privacy and accountability interests in the lives of African American celebrities. Chuck Lawrence interrogates the judicial backlash against affirmative action. And Michelle Alexander describes what caused her to break ranks with the civil rights community and take up the cause of those our legal system has labeled unworthy. Carving Out a Humanity gathers some of our country’s brightest progressive legal stars in a volume that illuminates facets of the law that have continued to perpetuate racial inequality and to confound our nation at the start of a new millennium. According to Library Journal, “Scholars and lay readers alike will be enlightened and spurred to thought and discussion.” Contributors: Charles Ogletree Charles Lawrence Patricia J. Williams Richard Delgado Lani Guinier Anita Allen Mari Matsuda Cheryl L. Harris Kendall Thomas Derrick Bell John Calmore Robert A. Williams Paul Butler Emma Coleman Jordan Devon W.

Book Description
The righteous branch is an engraved word of God which speaks of three unified cardinal points of life, the resurrection, the restitution and the rapture. It is an open revelation of the true life of the worldly man who gave himself to the will of devil. It spoke at large of how devil deceived man from the reality of life into the belief of vanity and empty glory of the earth. The spirit of God spoke expressly, that there is a magic influence upon the world, a dark shield covering the inner vision of the natural man, thereby making his sight myopic of the vision of eternal glory. The spiritual insight of the word of God has revealed that when the glorious light shall come, then there shall be a fall away of the weak. Those things that are shaking shall be removed and the perfect shall remain, the man of perdition shall be revealed, there shall be no hiding place for the disobedience of God. The righteous branch explores on the exceeding love of Christ to the world. Why he redeemed man from his pathetic state. It elaborated what man should do to inherit the kingdom of God. Also mans allegiance to Christ for the price of his death on the Calvary.

The Shadow University
Author: Alan Charles Kors
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0684867494
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
Universities once believed themselves to be sacred enclaves, where students and professors could debate the issues of the day and arrive at a better understanding of the human condition. Today, sadly, this ideal of the university is being quietly betrayed from within. Universities still set themselves apart from American society, but now they do so by enforcing their own politically correct worldview through censorship, double standards, and a judicial system without due process. Faculty and students who threaten the prevailing norms may be forced to undergo "thought reform." In a surreptitious aboutface, universities have become the enemy of a free society, and the time has come to hold these institutions to account. The Shadow University is a stinging indictment of the covert system of justice on college campuses, exposing the widespread reliance on kangaroo courts and arbitrary punishment to coerce students and faculty into conformity. Alan Charles Kors and Harvey A. Silverglate, staunch civil libertarians and active defenders of free inquiry on campus, lay bare the totalitarian mindset that undergirds speech codes, conduct codes, and "campus life" bureaucracies, through which a cadre of deans and counselors indoctrinate students and faculty in an ideology that favors group rights over individual rights, sacrificing free speech and academic freedom to spare the sensitivities of currently favored groups. From Maine to California, at public and private universities alike, liberty and fairness are the first casualties as teachers and students find themselves in the dock, presumed guilty until proven innocent and often forbidden to cross-examine their accusers. Kors and Silverglate introduce us to many of those who have firsthand experience of the shadow university, including: The student at the center of the 1993 "Water Buffalo" case at the University of Pennsylvania, who was brought up on charges of racial harassment after calling a group of rowdy students "water buffalo" -- even though the term has no racial connotations. The Catholic residence adviser who was fired for refusing, on grounds of religious conscience, to wear a symbol of gay and lesbian causes. The professor who was investigated for sexual harassment when he disagreed with campus feminists about curriculum issues. The student who was punished for laughing at a statement deemed offensive to others and who was ordered to undergo "sensitivity training" as a result. The Shadow University unmasks a chilling reality for parents who entrust their sons and daughters to the authority of such institutions, for thinking people who recognize that vigorous debate is the only sure path to truth, and for all Americans who realize that when even one citizen is deprived of liberty, we are all diminished.
