Trade Review
"Richard Delgado is a triple pioneer. He was the first to question free speech ideology; he and a few others invented Critical Race Theory, and he is both a theorist and an exemplar of the importance of story-telling to the workings of the law. This volume brings all of Delgado's strengths together in a stunning performance." -- Stanley Fish,author of There's No Such Thing as Free Speech; and It's a Good Thing, Too
"An excellent starting place for the national discussion about race we so desperately need." * The Washington Post Book World *
"A probing, thoughtful explication of the unexamined myths and assumptions that condition so many current U.S. public policy debates." * Booklist *
"A novel in which two 'intellectuals of color'—the narrator, a middle-aged law professor, and his protege, Rodrigo Crenshaw—sit down and hash out the issues of our time. . . Intellectually exuberant" * Los Angeles Times *
