Descripción
Sumario:This title offers original readings of the ideal of colour-blindness in canonical cases to the critical study of race and law. It does this by deconstructing and tracing colour-blindness as a fantasmatic core around which law enforces classic principles of American democracy - including, equal protection, citizenship, personal privacy, and freedom of expression. This fantasmatic core, variously materialised in the formal literary structure of universal legal reason, reveals how racial slavery continues to haunt American democracy.
