Tales Of Color And Colonialism: Racial Realism And Settler Colonial Theory, Natsu Taylor Saito
Florida A & M University Law Review
More than a half-century after the civil rights era, people of color in the United States remain disproportionately impoverished and incarcerated, excluded and vulnerable. Legal remedies rooted in the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection remain elusive. This article argues that the "racial realism" advocated by the late Professor Derrick Bell compels us to look critically at the purposes served by racial hierarchy.

Florida A & M University Law Review
