In particular, it highlights the main tenets and distinctive scholarly forms of critical theories on race and law." "Race, Law, Resistance will be of interest to academics and students following undergraduate or postgraduate courses on critical race theory, law and postcolonialism, discrimination law, legal theory, legal systems, the law of obligations, comparative legal cultures, law and literature, and human rights."--BOOK JACKET.
