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
