Being Between: A Review Of Chinese Women Traversing Diaspora: Memoirs, Essays, And Poetry, Margaret Chon
Being Between: A Review Of Chinese Women Traversing Diaspora: Memoirs, Essays, And Poetry, Margaret Chon
Faculty Articles
In this essay Professor Chon reviews Chinese Women Traversing Diaspora: Memoirs, Essays, and Poetry. Chinese Women Traversing Diaspora is the second volume of a series on the theme of "Gender, Culture, and Global Politics." Professor Sharon Hom, who edited this volume, deliberately contextualizes the "I" and "we" that supply the narrative voice and subject in each of these works as specific ethnic, gendered, and generational locations within Asian America. However, Professor Chon illustrates how this anthology is not so much about the "I" as it is about the "we." Professor Horn is engaged in a project of excavating individual histories …
Afterword: New "Truths" And The Old First Amendment, David Skover, Ronald Collins
Afterword: New "Truths" And The Old First Amendment, David Skover, Ronald Collins
Faculty Articles
Written as an afterword to a Symposium on The Death of Discourse, this piece replies to commentaries on the relationship between "Noble Lies" and the First Amendment authored by Professors Shadia Drury (political science), Robert Hariman (rhetoric & communication studies), David Nyberg (philosophy), Loyal Rue (religion & philosophy), and Richard Stivers (sociology).
The Nativist's Dream Of Return, Robert S. Chang
The Nativist's Dream Of Return, Robert S. Chang
Faculty Articles
In this address, Professor Robert Chang discusses how the current racial paradigm has become naturalized so that race in America is generally understood to mean black and white. It is this notion of race that limits people understanding and willingness to engage with the history and current state of Asian Americans and Latinos in the United States. Instead of being interested participants, they are seen as interlopers. Yet this status as interloper is precisely why Asian Americans and Latinos are important in discussions of race-our existence disrupts the comfortable binary of the black/white racial paradigm in which the black racial …
Chon On Chen On Chang, Margaret Chon
Chon On Chen On Chang, Margaret Chon
Faculty Articles
This essay attempts to highlight and explore Bob Chang's implicit disclaimers for an Asian American legal scholarship situated within post-structuralism: that it is contingent, ironic, and yearns for a chimerical solidarity, these qualities should not lead to the conclusion that his claims lack positive vision, the narrative space that Chang advocates allows for creative articulations of Asian presence in America, in both theoretical and practical realms. Thus, after considering the nature of the misunderstanding between Chang and Chen, the author will turn briefly to one example of positive articulation-the diaspora perspective-and read it into Jim Chen's text.
The End Of Innocence Or Politics After The Fall Of The Essential Subject, Robert S. Chang
The End Of Innocence Or Politics After The Fall Of The Essential Subject, Robert S. Chang
Faculty Articles
Stuart Hall, writing in the context of British Cultural Studies, describes the demise of the essential black subject as the end of innocence. We have seen in feminist theory and in critical race theory the debate about essentialism, along with various recuperative proposals such as intersectionality, multiple consciousness, positionality, and strategic essentialism. Rather than revisit those discussions, Professor Chang raises the possibility of constructing new subject positions in an attempt to move us beyond the difference divide, to move us from identity politics as we now know it to political identities. In this essay, Professor Chang asks whether we can …
Reverse Racism!: Affirmative Action, The Family, And The Dream That Is America, Robert S. Chang
Reverse Racism!: Affirmative Action, The Family, And The Dream That Is America, Robert S. Chang
Faculty Articles
In this essay, Professor Chang explores the interaction of race and family in the affirmative action debate. Although discrimination against women remains rampant in our society, and despite the fact that white women have been the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action, white women are being told that affirmative action hurts them because it hurts their husbands, brothers, and sons. Familial loyalty is being invoked to do the work of an explicit call for white racial solidarity. This strategy may be successful because as late as 1987, even with the increasing rate of interracial marriage, 99% of white Americans were married …
On The Need For Asian American Narratives In Law: Ethnic Specimens, Native Informants, Storytelling And Silences, Margaret Chon
On The Need For Asian American Narratives In Law: Ethnic Specimens, Native Informants, Storytelling And Silences, Margaret Chon
Faculty Articles
The race-ing process that leads to the "ethnic specimen" as well as to the resulting problems of the "native informant" deserves theoretical attention, for they affect how legal categories are constructed with respect to Asian Americans. This article attempts to expand on each of these phenomena. In part II, the author describes in more detail the concept of the "ethnic specimen" and in part III, the "native informant." Part III will also explore the various forms of silence, as well as other aspects of reticence the author and others have in the project of articulating an Asian American authentic native …

Sex Stories: A Review Of Sex And Reason, Margaret Chon
Sex Stories: A Review Of Sex And Reason, Margaret Chon
Faculty Articles
In this review of Sex Stories-A Review Of Sex And Reason by Richard A. Posner, Professor Chon explores the implications of Posner’s exuberant faith in bioeconomic reasoning, unalloyed by any of the late modernist or postmodernist challenges to the nature and limits of science and its transformative potential. In doing so, Professor Chon attempts three things. First, she discusses some of his sociobiological assertions in order to demonstrate that evolutionary biology consists of a much richer and more contradictory set of assertions than Posner would have us believe. Even within the empiricist framework, therefore, Posner leaves out many stories that …
Toward An Asian American Legal Scholarship: Critical Race Theory, Post-Structuralism, And Narrative Space, Robert S. Chang
Toward An Asian American Legal Scholarship: Critical Race Theory, Post-Structuralism, And Narrative Space, Robert S. Chang
Faculty Articles
As Asian Americans join the legal academy in growing numbers, they change the face of the academy and challenge its traditional legal doctrines. The author announces an "'Asian American Moment" in the legal academy and an opportunity to reverse the pattern of discrimination against Asian Americans. Traditional civil rights work and current critical race scholarship fail to address the unique issues for Asian Americans, including nativistic racism and the model minority myth. Space must be made in the legal academy for an Asian American Legal Scholarship and the narratives of Asian Americans. The author asserts that the rational-empirical mode is …
Speaking Of Rights, Janet Ainsworth
Speaking Of Rights, Janet Ainsworth
Faculty Articles
Professor Janet Ainsworth reviews Rights Talk: The Impoverishment of Political Discourse, by Mary Ann Glendon. The thesis of Mary Ann Glendon's book is a provocative one: that the way in which Americans talk about rights is dangerous to our political and social well-being as a nation. Professor Ainsworth explores the specifics of rights discourse that Glendon describes, and provides a thorough critique of Rights Talk.
A Modern Proposal, Sidney Delong
A Modern Proposal, Sidney Delong
Faculty Articles
This article humorously explains Jonathan Swift’s intention when he wrote “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country.” Swift was not writing satirically, his analysis was purely written from an economic standpoint as was Landes and Posner’s modern proposal. Landes and Posner recognized the allocative efficiencies and wealth gains that can be realized when property rights are created in noncommodities, such as people, as did Jonathan Swift.

The Community Service Obligation Of Hill-Burton Health Facilities, Ken Wing
The Community Service Obligation Of Hill-Burton Health Facilities, Ken Wing
Faculty Articles
This article focuses squarely on the community service provision and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The analysis traces the statutory and regulatory history of the community service obligation and examines the scope of the discretion that has been delegated to federal and state agencies to define and enforce this obligation. The discussion begins with a brief history of the original Hill-Burton program and the several amendments and modifications of the program over the last several decades. Next, the legislative history of the community service obligation is examined in an effort to determine the scope of authority created by Congress in establishing …
National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider
National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider
Faculty Articles
The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974, was signed into law on January 4, 1975, following a lengthy legislative struggle. During the past 11 months, the fighting among private and public health interests has continued, although the principal arena has shifted from the Congress to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which is charged with primary responsibility for implementing the law. While the final outcome of this political conflict is still difficult to foresee, some informed estimates can already be made concerning the implications of this legislation for the poor. This article will not summarize the …
Victimless Crimes: A Proposal To Free The Courts, Robert C. Boruchowitz
Victimless Crimes: A Proposal To Free The Courts, Robert C. Boruchowitz
Faculty Articles
Victimless "crimes"—acts that are presently outside the law but which have no readily identifiable victim—account for almost half of the cases handled by United States courts. They include behavior which may reflect illness and which requires medical and therapeutic attention (such as drunkenness), as well as behavior condemned as varying from moral or social standards and leading to harmful behavior (such as vagrancy and curfew violations). If the burden of regulating this type of behavior were removed from the criminal justice system, perhaps one half of the courts' current case load could be eliminated. Furthermore, persons caught in deviant conduct …

Universities, Law Schools, Communities: Learning Or Service Or Learning And Service?, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
This article addresses the roles of universities and law schools and their changing roles in society. While many universities and law schools are assuming leadership roles in national and even global communities, the new challenge is their responsibility to the communities they reside in.
Lay Advocacy And "Legal Services To Youth": Summaries On The Use Of Para-Legal Aides, Henry Mcgee
Lay Advocacy And "Legal Services To Youth": Summaries On The Use Of Para-Legal Aides, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
This article discusses the incredibly effective use of legal assistants in the project implemented to assist poor urban youth with legal issues—Legal Services to Youth sponsored by the University of Chicago Law School's Center for Studies in Criminal Justice, under a Ford Foundation grant, was directed to a specialized consumer group, boys under 17 and girls under 18, the jurisdictional age ceiling in the Cook County, Illinois Juvenile Court. Legal assistants were recruited in the area served, and an attempt was made to locate persons who were by background and experience likely to be sympathetic to youth "in trouble." The …
