Download or read book Race Against the Court written by Girardeau A. Spann and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spann (law, Georgetown U.) savages the notion that the US Supreme Court is the guardian of minority rights: the method of their nomination ensures that they share the political preferences of the ruling elite; once on the court, justices are subject to societal opinion that disregards minorities; the landmark 1954 civil rights case has centralized affirmative action and convinced minorities of the futility of any efforts of their own toward self-determination; reliance on a small group of majoritarians legitimates the social subordination of minorities.
