Alchemy Of Race And Rights - Tapa blanda

Williams, Patricia

 
9781853816741: Alchemy Of Race And Rights

Sinopsis

Using the tools of critical, literary and legal theory in this autobiographical work, the author sets out her views of contemporary popular culture and current events, from civil rights to Oprah Winfrey. She also traces the workings of "ordinary racism" - everyday occurrences, casual, unintended, banal perhaps, but mortifying. Taking up the metaphor of alchemy, Williams casts the law in a mythological text in which the powers of commerce and the Constitution, wealth and poverty, sanity and insanity, wage war across complex and overlapping boundaries of discourse. The author is a lawyer and great-great granddaughter of a slave.
