Rethinking Minority Coalition Building: Valuing Self-Sacrifice, Stewardship And Anti-Subordination, Victor Romero

Fisher V. Texas: The Limits Of Exhaustion And The Future Of Race-Conscious University Admissions, John Powell, Stephen Menendian
john a. powell
This Article investigates the potential ramifications of Fisher v. Texas and the future of race-conscious university admissions. Although one cannot predict the ultimate significance of the Fisher decision, its brief and pregnant statements of law portends an increasingly perilous course for traditional affirmative action programs. Part I explores the opinions filed in Fisher, with a particular emphasis on Justice Kennedy’s opinion on behalf of the Court. We focus on the ways in which the Fisher decision departs from precedent, proscribes new limits on the use of race in university admissions, and tightens requirements for narrow tailoring. Part II investigates the …
Race, Crime, And Institutional Design, Erik Luna
Race, Crime, And Institutional Design, Erik Luna
Erik Luna
Minorities are gravely overrepresented in every stage of the criminal process--from pedestrian and automobile stops, to searches and seizures, to arrests and convictions, to incarceration and capital punishment. While racial data can provide a snapshot of the current state of affairs, such information rarely satisfies questions of causation, and usually only sets the scene for normative theory.

Outsider Citizens: Film Narratives About The Internment Of Japanese Americans, Taunya Banks
Outsider Citizens: Film Narratives About The Internment Of Japanese Americans, Taunya Banks
Taunya Lovell Banks
This article examines the conflicting film narratives about the internment from 1942 through 2007. It argues that while later film narratives, especially documentaries, counter early government film narratives justifying the internment, these counter-narratives have their own damaging hegemony. Whereas earlier commercial films tell the internment story through the eyes of sympathetic whites, using a conventional civil rights template … Japanese and other Asian American documentary filmmakers construct their Japanese characters as model minorities — hyper-citizens, super patriots. Further, the internment experience remains largely a male story. With the exception of Emiko Omori’s documentary film memoir, Rabbit in the Moon (2004), …

Off His Rocker: Sports Discipline And Labor Arbitration, Roger Abrams
Roger I. Abrams
In this article, the author analyzes the labor arbitration of Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker whose interview in Sports Illustrated had caused quite a stir in Major League baseball. Rocker had expressed his personal distain for all minorities and “unusual” people who might ride the number 7 subway train to Shea Stadium in New York City. The Commissioner’s suspension of Rocker was substantially modified by the permanent arbitrator and Professor Abrams explains the basis for the award and how it fits into the established jurisprudence under collective bargaining agreements.
