Afterword: Other Americas, Angela P. Harris Feb 1997

Afterword: Other Americas, Angela P. Harris

Michigan Law Review

In an article published by Harper's Magazine in July 1991, James Traub, a white journalist, reported that participants on "The Gary Byrd Show," a New York City-based black radio talk show, insisted on attributing nearly every event adversely affecting African Americans to racist conspiracies. Traub titled his article "A CounterReality Grows in Harlem," and he was clearly shocked and dismayed by what he saw as the widespread irrationalism, even paranoia, of Harlem's black residents. His article suggested that the emergence of this counterreality was a measure of the dangerous isolation of certain segments of African America from the rest of …


Critical Race Praxis: Race Theory And Political Lawyering Practice In Post-Civil Rights America, Eric K. Yamamoto Feb 1997

Critical Race Praxis: Race Theory And Political Lawyering Practice In Post-Civil Rights America, Eric K. Yamamoto

Michigan Law Review

At the end of the twentieth century, the legal status of Chinese Americans in San Francisco's public schools turns on a requested judicial finding that a desegregation order originally designed to dismantle a system subordinating nonwhites now invidiously discriminates against Chinese Americans. Brian Ho, Patrick Wong, and Hilary Chen, plaintiffs in Ho v. San Francisco Unified School District, represent "all [16,000] children of Chinese descent" eligible to attend San Francisco's public schools. Their high-profile suit, filed by small-firm attorneys, challenges the validity of a 1983 judicial consent decree desegregating San Francisco's schools. Approved in response to an NAACP class action …

Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management Jan 1997

Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

The purpose of conducting the planning review is to analyze and weigh the benefits/consequences of changing the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) designation for the Shirley Mountain Planning Review Area from "limited to all existing roads and trails" to "limited to designated roads and trails only." Recommendations to reduce road density in the planning review area were made in the Shirley Mountain Habitat Management Plan, written in 1985 and also in the Wyoming Game and Fish (WGFD) Shirley Mountain Habitat Analysis, written in 1994. The BLM, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the private land owners on Shirley Mountain formed a …

Environmental Assessment For Coal Planning Decisions In The Carbon Basin Area Of The Great Divide Resource Area, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management Jan 1997

Environmental Assessment For Coal Planning Decisions In The Carbon Basin Area Of The Great Divide Resource Area, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

In 1982, a federal coal lease was issued for approximately 60% of the federal coal lands located in the Carbon Basin. Because this lease was still in effect at the time the current BLM land use plan (the Great Divide Resource Area Resource Management Plan-RMP-1990) covering the Carbon Basin area was prepared, it was exempt from the coal screening/planning requirements. However, development of this lease was never pursued and the lease expired in 1992. Also at the time the Great Divide RMP was prepared, there was no other interest expressed by industry in obtaining federal coal leases in the area. …

Environmental Quality As A National Good In A Federal State, Richard B. Stewart Jan 1997

Environmental Quality As A National Good In A Federal State, Richard B. Stewart

Faculty Articles

Adoption of new approaches to securing the national good of environmental quality will depend critically on the intermediaries who determine or influence how public demand for environmental quality is channeled into the design and implementation of concrete environmental policy measures. These intermediaries are political and policy entrepreneurs, the media, legislators, regulators and administrators, environmental groups, industry, and others. Many of these intermediaries have a strong vested interest in the existing centralized command and control system. Many will continue to try to use environmental regulation to extract rents or otherwise advance their interests. These realities must be taken into account in …


State Environmental Standard-Setting: Is There A "Race" And Is It "To The Bottom"?, Kirsten H. Engel Jan 1997

State Environmental Standard-Setting: Is There A "Race" And Is It "To The Bottom"?, Kirsten H. Engel

UC Law Journal

Federal intervention in environmental standard-setting is often justified as necessary to prevent states from engaging in a welfare-reducing "race-to-the-bottom" spurred by interstate competition for industry. Traditionally, scholars base the "race-to-the-bottom" assumption upon game theoretic models such as the classic Prisoner's Dilemma. Applying a neoclassical economic approach, however, some legal scholars have recently argued that interstate competition is conducive to efficiency and thus that there is no "race-to-the-bottom." In this Article, Professor Engel points out that these arguments have little empirical basis and provides, for the first time in the legal literature, an empirical framework for determining which of the existing …

Environmental Inequity: Economic Causes, Economic Solutions, Thom Lambert, Christopher Boerner Jan 1997

Environmental Inequity: Economic Causes, Economic Solutions, Thom Lambert, Christopher Boerner

Faculty Publications

The article examines one such shortcoming: namely, that existing research fails to account for the dynamic nature of the housing market. Analyzing data from the St. Louis metropolitan area, this study finds that economic factors--not siting discrimination--are behind many claims of environmental racism. This phenomenon suggests the need to develop public policies that fit the economic nature of the problem. In particular, a policy that compensates individuals living near industrial sites is the key to securing environmental justice.
