  • Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? - cover

    Is Racial Equality...

    More than just a legal doctrine, color-blind constitutionalism has emerged as the defining metaphor of the post-Civil Rights era. Even for those challenging its constitutional authority, the language of color-blindness sets the terms of debate. Critics of color-blind constitutionalism are in this sense captured by the object of their critique. And yet, paradoxically, to enact a color-blind rule actually requires a heightened awareness of race. As such, color-blind constitutionalism represents a particular form of racial consciousness rather than an alternative to it. 
Challenging familiar understandings of race, rights, and American law, Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? explores how current equal protection law renders the pursuit of racial equality constitutionally suspect. Identifying hierarchy rather than equality as an enduring constitutional norm, the book demonstrates how the pursuit of racial equality, historically, has been viewed as a violation of white rights. Arguing against conservative and liberal redemption narratives, both of which imagine racial equality as the perfection of American democracy, Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? calls instead for a break from the current constitutional order, that it may be re-founded upon principles of racial democracy.

    When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a pretty boring children's book and said, "Wow, that book was pretty bad." I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare (I did). 
Within a month, we had a book published.  
Now we can boast almost all of the list below:  
1.) We have sold 1,000,000+ books in 89 countries and 7 languages.  
2.) We sometimes had to resort to bribery, coercion, and ice cream to get a chapter done.  
3.) Just on royalties alone, Li is eyeing a Maserati for his 16th birthday.  
4.) We created something from nothing and no one can ever take that away.  
5.) We get regular calls from Hollywood producers about making the movie versions.  
6.) We broke all of Audible's rules when we recorded the audiobook version--and got rejected.  
7.) Both boys have transformed into perfect angels who study Mandarin in their free time after violin lessons and before their volunteer work for global literacy.  
8.) I have a audio proof of my 10-year old narrating Chapter 8 that I can use at his wedding to embarrass him beyond his wildest nightmares and I can bring that up whenever I like to remind my boys that we are a family who shares experiences (and it's good for blackmail).  
9.) We did it all right.  
10.) We did it all wrong.  
11.) We did it. Period.  
OK, so maybe it's every other item on the list. 
The big secret? Take the list above and choose which one you like.  
This book is going to help you create a bond with your kids. 
The only thing you have to do is be the spark.
